Ashburton is a charming town nestled on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon. Known for its historic significance as a stannary town and its picturesque surroundings, Ashburton offers a quaint atmosphere with five pubs and restaurants to enjoy.

The town is probably most known now as being one of best places in the south west to shop for antiques, the town is packed with wonderful small shops filled to the brim with history and unique finds. The shops are closed on Sundays though, so bear that in mind if this is the reason for your visit.
