Appledore Heath is a small area of heathland and open countryside on the edge of the village of Appledore in the borough of Ashford, Kent, England. The landscape is typical of this part of the county - a mix of farmland, scrub and small woodlands crossed by quiet lanes and footpaths, making it popular for local walks and wildlife spotting.
Historically such heaths were used for commons and grazing, and the area still retains a rural character with traditional cottages and field patterns. Local life is centred on the nearby village amenities and farming, while the wider economy and services are influenced by the proximity of Ashford and its transport links, so the heath combines a sense of historic countryside with easy access to modern facilities.
