Ashburton, Devon

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Ashburton was a centre of the tin mining industry. The town gives good access to eastern Dartmoor, and many of the most popular tors of Dartmoor National Park are only a short drive away. The parish church of St Andrew dates to the 12th century, but was much rebuilt in the 15th century. Just outside Ashburton is the modern monastery of Buckland Abbey. The most intriguing building is the Chapel of St Lawrence. This was a private chapel for the Bishop of Exeter but he gave it to the town in 1314 as a Chantry School. It now houses a heritage centre for Ashburton.
