Westwell is a village and relatively elevated civil parish centred 4 miles (6 km) north of Ashford in Kent, England, in the Borough of Ashford.
The parish had a population of 1,080 at the 2021 census, little changed since 2001 and 2011.[1] Besides Westwell village, the parish includes the hamlets of Dunn Street, Potters Corner, and Tutt Hill.[2]
The Pilgrims' Way runs above the village on the Downs, and was travelled by pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The south-western boundary of the parish follows the A20 Ashford–Maidstone road, and the M20 motorway and two railways – the Maidstone line and High Speed 1 – pass through the south-west of the parish.
