Ash is a small village and civil parish in the Dover district of Kent, England, set on the North Kent Plain a short distance from the coast and the historic town of Sandwich. It sits within easy reach of the ferry port at Dover, giving the parish a quietly strategic feel between seaside and market-town life.
The area remains largely agricultural, with market gardens and arable fields surrounding a compact village core that still shows its historic roots and supports a close-knit community through a parish church and village hall. Proximity to Sandwich Bay and the championship links nearby brings a seasonal uptick in visitors and links the parish into the wider local economy centred on tourism, recreation and commuting to nearby towns.
