Ashenvale is one of the first contested zones new players on PvP servers will come across(on kalimdor), levels of the mobs range from about 18 to 25.
The feel of the zone is all night elf environment, a lush forest and even a few moonwells scattered through the zone. Tailors can use moonwells to turn felcloth into mooncloth.

For Horde Only Loremaster of Kalimdor:
Make sure to kill 3 named mobs in this area that count towards the achievement. Each drops an item that starts a quest.
Sharptalon ~~> Sharptalon's Claw
Shadumbra ~~> Shadumbra's Head
Tideress ~~> Befouled Water Globe
Good place to quest but be ready for some hardcore running, these quests have you all over the place, for horde and alliance. Great place for PvP too because it attracts lots of horde to the area.
