Ashley Parish Council

Ashley is a small village in a pleasant setting about 4 miles east of Newmarket. The village is adjacent to the Suffolk boundary and has close ties to Newmarket. It has a clearly defined centre associated with both a prominent pond and the point where the road from Newmarket reaches the top of the chalk ridge. The older core of attractive flint buildings is covered by a Conservation Area.

Facilities in the village include a general store, church, public hall, restaurant and a sports field. The village has a regular bus service which runs to Newmarket.
