Ashford is a market town with many attractive medieval houses. It used to be a quiet area near the Romney Marshes but all that changed with the arrival of a channel tunnel station. Now the quickest trains take you to Calais in just 44 minutes from Ashford making day trips to the Continent a viable option. It is also a great base from which to tour the surrounding villages.
Godington House & Gardens is a lovely place to visit, the house inside has wonderful carvings and furniture and is decorated to reflect it's fascinating history. It is surrounded by 12 acres of tranquil parkland.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
