Ashford has a charming town centre with a number of speciality shops, amenities and a magnificent war memorial.
The Queen Mary Reservoir opened in 1925 and is ideal for racing or just having fun, and the Queen Mary Sailing Club is arguably one of the country’s premier inland dingy and windsurfing racing clubs.
Many of the town’s buildings have an interesting heritage, including St Matthew’s Church, daring back to 1293; the Old Fire Station, which was used as headquarters for the Civil Defence Corp until the 1960s and St David’s School for Girls, designed by Henry Clutton for the “Welsh Schools” and set in 30 acres of pleasant landscape.
