The local area
Holidays in Ashburton mean you have the many attractions and outstanding beauty of Dartmoor and South Devon all at your fingertips. Sitting conveniently just off the A38 on the southern fringes of the moor, Ashburton dates back to Saxon times and in 1305 became a Dartmoor stannery town dictating tin production in the area. This rich history is evident in the town’s architecture which is brimming with character and charm – antique shops, book stores, delis, restaurants and gift shops cram together along the pretty high street rubbing shoulders with a lively arts centre, museum and 12th century church. For families there’s also a fantastic heated outdoor pool and skatepark within walking distance of the town centre.
Once you’ve explored the town there’s masses to do in the surrounding area, Ashburton is known as the ‘Gateway to Dartmoor’ and is the perfect base for walkers, runners, cyclists, canoeists and horse riders eager to get out and enjoy the wild expanses of the moor. You don’t have to break a sweat to enjoy Dartmoor though, within a few miles of Ashburton there are plenty of beauty spots where you can pull up and have a picnic or let the kids run around. Spitchwick Common is a popular spot for swimming in the Dart and magnificent Haytor are both just a few miles away. Other attractions include River Dart Country Park, just outside Ashburton and a brilliant day out for all the family. Here you can swing from the trees on the high ropes course, catch some air on a mountain bike, try canoeing, zorbing, zip lining and much more all in 90 acres of beautiful countryside alongside the River Dart.
With so much to see and do, holidays in Ashburton have something for everyone and our properties in this thriving market town provide the perfect base to explore the beautiful surrounding area.
