Little Stour & Ashstone is a largely rural ward in the district of Dover, in Kent, England, covering small villages and hamlets clustered around the shallow valley of the Little Stour. The landscape is a mix of arable farmland, orchards and chalk downland, with pockets of wildlife along the stream and a scattering of historic farmhouses and medieval parish churches that hint at the area’s long agricultural history.
Locally the community life revolves around village halls, parish events and small-scale businesses, while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Canterbury or to the Kent coast at Dover. The ward’s quiet lanes, conservation areas and rural character make it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter slice of Kent away from larger towns.
