Not as far as Ashford, and on a bigger hill than you find in the town.

I have gone back to a map GTP again. Its cropped back to avoid easy connections with named places nearby, but I thought a lost Race Course worthy of the game.
Mid Kent. Modern field shape is almost the same.
Map is from nls, 25inch OS, 1896/7

Code: CT11 9LF
WGS84: 51°19'52"N 001°24'44"E or 51.33098,001.412116
