Location: Site is in the Kennington area of Ashford
Directions: Take A28 (Canterbury Road) northeast out of Ashford. Approx 20 metres before the roundabout where the A2070 joins (from the south), turn left into the side road that is signposted as "Canterbury Road Leading to the Ridge". (There are road markings for a right hand turn lane from the opposite direction)
The flying area is the playing field on the RHS.
Parking: Free, 24/7, next to club house on RHS (northeast) side of road.
Facilities: None on site; Kennington village shops about 500 metres away.
Accessibility: Easy
Flying Area: Fly on the raised area at the north-west part of the site, away from any turbulence caused by the tree on the mound..
Comments: Soccer is played on Sunday mornings during the soccer season, so is unsuitable for flying then. Despite this being an urban location, there are usually very few people there out of the soccer season: a few dog-walkers (usually very considerate of flyers), sometimes some youths playing soccer, the occasional parents with young children, and a few people chilling out on the mound under the large tree. The wind is never ideal, and is very fickle when light, but this is still relatively good for an urban flying site. Unsuitable for buggies.
Local Clubs/Contacts: Occasional use by some KKF members
