Ashford Designer Retail Outlets
The disused Kimberley works site, a former railway and engineering facility owned and operated by British Rail, is the location of the 19,500 square metre Ashford Designer Retail Outlet Centre. The 12 hectare site, bounded by the main vehicular route into Ashford from the M20 motorway to the west, and the railway to the east, reflects the flat reclaimed topography of Romney Marshes, in which Ashford is located. Adjacent to the Ashford International Rail Terminal, connecting London to Paris and Lille, the site is well located for attracting visitors from all over Europe.
