Tucked into the North Downs landscape just south of Longfield, New Ash Green is a distinctive village that stands apart from its more traditional Kentish neighbours. Established in the late 1960s as a "Span" development, it was designed with a specific vision of communal living, where clusters of modernist houses are woven directly into 250 acres of shared green space and ancient woodland. This layout prioritises pedestrians over cars, with many of the residential courts linked by footpaths rather than through-roads. At its heart lies a purpose-built shopping precinct and a village hall that serves as the hub for local life. While it feels rural and sits within the Green Belt, the village is practically situated for commuters; Longfield station is less than three miles away, providing a direct rail link into London Victoria in about thirty minutes. It is a place defined by its architectural heritage and a deliberate sense of being a village within a forest.
