Ashford Carbonell (sometimes spelled with a single 'l'), one of the most beautiful villages in Shropshire, is located just off the A49, about 4 km (2½ miles) south of Ludlow.
Ashford Carbonell has a population of around 360 and comprises an eclectic mixture of houses, farms, a village hall and one church, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene and Norman in origin.
There are no archaeological curiosities here to bring in historians - no castle, no Iron-Age fort - and no shops or pubs to attract the tourists. But what Ashford Carbonell has in abundance is peace and quiet. Where better for a Sunday afternoon stroll, perhaps finishing up at Ashford’s ‘beach’, the site of the original ford after which the village takes its name.
