Ashley(also known, signposted and marked on some maps as Sutton) is a hamlet located in the parish of Sutton, some five miles (8km) north of Dover on the sumit of Gants Hill in Kent, England. Ashley runs almost seemlessly into the neibouring village of Studdle. The A256 road passes to the west of Ashley.
The main road running through Ashley is Chapel Lane. This is because of the small chapel that still stands on it. The chapel has now been converted into a dwelling / house.
The Pub in the photograph closed/ceased trading in 2005 and is awaiting planning permission to be used as a private dwelling (2008)
Ashley is in a predominantly rural area and the starting place of a large number of hiking routes.
