Ashford
Ashford, with its first-class conference venues and great communication links, is able to meet the needs of the most discerning of conference organisers. The prestige Eurostar service operates from the town’s International Station, and Ashford is just a few minutes from the Channel Tunnel and Dover, with excellent motorway and rail access.
In Ashford enjoy the very best of an old market town and all the vibrancy of a modern international gateway. A rich mix of historic buildings, some dating from mediaeval, and Georgian times, beautiful floral displays and plenty of street entertainment create a welcoming feel, while Ashford’s International Eurostar Station and street cafés lend a truly continental ambience. As a market town, Ashford has for centuries been a local communications hub for surrounding villages and has stood at the centre of five railway lines, since the 19th century and with the opening of the International Passenger Station is now an important European communications centre, with new lines running between London and the Channel Tunnel. The new train line High Speed One will access London in 37 minutes, opening in 2009.
Ashford is one of the fastest growing areas in England, with rapid growth in the population and the infrastructure needed to support the town.
