If you've landed here searching for taxis "near Brighton" or "near London," you may be thinking of the other Ashurst, in West Sussex. This page covers Ashurst, Kent — postcode TN3, in the civil parish of Speldhurst, about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells.
Ashurst, Kent sits in the civil parish of Speldhurst, in the Tunbridge Wells district, on the Kent/East Sussex border along the River Medway — around 5 miles (8km) west of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Unlike Hawkhurst and most of the villages we cover, Ashurst has its own working railway station, opened in 1888, with a roughly hourly service to London Bridge via Oxted and an hourly service to Uckfield in East Sussex. That makes station pickups and drop-offs a genuinely common local job here, alongside the shorter local trips and fixed-price airport transfers we run from every village we cover.
The village's parish church, St Martin of Tours, dates back to the 10th century, and Groombridge Place Gardens — home to the Enchanted Forest — sits less than a mile away, making it an easy, short taxi ride for a day out or an evening return once the gardens close. Because Ashurst sits further from our Hawkhurst base than the other villages we cover, we quote local and airport journeys from Ashurst individually by phone rather than publishing a fixed table of fares, so you always get an accurate price for the actual distance involved rather than a rate designed for a shorter trip.
Whether you're arriving by train at Ashurst station, heading to Groombridge Place, or need a fixed-price airport transfer, book by phone, mobile or the form below and we'll confirm your fare before you travel.

This is Ashurst, Kent — a small village on the Kent/East Sussex border about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, not the Ashurst near Brighton and Hove in West Sussex. The two are separate villages roughly 30 miles apart, so it's worth double-checking which one a search result or booking is actually referring to.
In the UK, a taxi (or hackney carriage) can be hailed on the street or picked up from a rank, while a private hire vehicle — often called a cab or minicab — must be booked in advance and can't legally be flagged down. C Line Cars operates as a pre-booked private hire service, so you'll always arrange your ride by phone, text or our booking form rather than hailing one.
An illegal or unbooked minicab is a private hire vehicle that picks up passengers without a prior booking — something a properly licensed private hire car isn't allowed to do. The simplest way to avoid one is to always book directly with a named local firm by phone in advance, rather than accepting a car that approaches you or one you haven't arranged yourself.
Yes. Ashurst has its own railway station, with a roughly hourly service to London Bridge via Oxted and to Uckfield in East Sussex — you can check live times on National Rail's website. Tell us your train time when booking and we'll time your pickup to meet it.
Yes, Groombridge Place Gardens and the Enchanted Forest are less than a mile from Ashurst village, so it's a short, straightforward pickup or drop-off — including a timed return if you're staying for the gardens' full opening hours.
