Weald Central is an electoral ward in the borough of Ashford, in the county of Kent, England. It sits within the rolling landscape of the Kentish Weald, characterised by farmland, orchards, woodlands and a scattering of villages and hamlets rather than a single urban centre.
The ward combines a traditional rural economy - farming and horticulture - with many residents who commute into Ashford or on to London thanks to good transport links. Historic timber-framed cottages, oast houses and parish churches give the area a strong local identity, while village halls and pubs remain important social hubs; local concerns typically focus on housing, rural services and conservation of the landscape.
