Ashburton lies on the southern slopes of Dartmoor in the heart of the South Devon countryside, just down the hill from Widecombe-in-the-Moor, which hosts its famous Fair every September. Flanked by the Devon Expressway that extends the M5 to the historic naval port of Plymouth, Ashburton is situated roughly halfway between Plymouth and Exeter. Two and a half hours train journey from London Paddington and 2 hours drive from Bristol. The Dartmoor National Park covers an area of 368 square miles - the largest and wildest area of open country in southern England. Made up of heather-covered moorland and deep wooded gorges, beautiful lake-like reservoirs and tumbling rocky rivers, thriving market towns and villages, patchwork farmland and craggy granite tors. Dartmoor is full of nature reserves and sites of Specific Scientific Interest, endangered birds and rare plants, and thousands of archaeological sites including burial chambers, stone circles and menhirs housing mystery, legend and folklore. Amongst the stunning countryside are the remains of mines and quarries, ruined castles, medieval abbeys, ancient churches and bridges - so much to explore!
