ASHBURTON

Newton Abbot 8 miles; Torquay 17 miles; Plymouth 25 miles; Exeter 20 miles; Widecombe In The Moor 6 miles

The ancient Stannary town of Ashburton lies on the southern slopes of Dartmoor and is an ideal spot from which to explore the rugged high moors to the North and a beautiful coastline to the South. The scenery in this area of South Devon is glorious in all weathers and offers visitors opportunities for walking, pony trekking, canoeing, fishing and lazing on the beach. Ashburton has some artisan shops and with its interesting history and museum, has built a reputation for its high standard of antiques and fine collectables outlets. It also has lovely tea rooms, a popular vegan cafe, a wine bar, a fish deli, cheese deli, artisan baker, local butcher and organic veg and health food shop. In the surrounding area, Dartmoor has many picturesque villages and hamlets with old thatched cottages and ancient churches, surrounded by a patchwork of fields and woodland. Lustleigh, North Bovey, Chagford and Widecombe- in- the- Moor are fine examples. The attractive seaside town of Teignmouth is a half hour drive and the popular Blackpool Sands (pebble beach), although a little further down the coast, is one of South Devon's most beautiful natural treasures. An award-winning privately managed 'Blue Flag' family beach with turquoise blue sea giving it an almost Mediterranean feel. For beautiful sandy beaches visit Bantham Beach and Dawlish Warren. So whether it is moor or coast that you’re seeking for your getaway, Ashburton is a really central town from which to be based.
