How did the Ashford Green Corridor come to be?
Ashford has been growing steadily
since the early 19th century. As the town has expanded, land close
to the rivers has not usually been built on, due to the risk of
flooding because the Borough
Council has protected it as green space.
The resulting undeveloped
'fingers' of land reach right into the heart of Ashford - together
they form the Ashford Green Corridor.
