Visit South Devon Group Travel Itinerary - Ashburton Ashburton Is a Lively Historical Town Nestled on the Southern Side of the Vast Dartmoor National Park
Visit South Devon Group Travel Itinerary - Ashburton Ashburton is a lively historical town nestled on the southern side of the vast Dartmoor National Park. The highstreet is home to many galleries, book shops, a variety of eateries and lots of great antique shops making it the perfect place to while away a few hours. Things to see and do for groups in Ashburton Due to its location Ashburton is an ideal base for visitors interested in walking, canoeing, pony trekking and fishing. Its wonderful position on the edge of the moors also means that no trip to Ashburton would be complete without a trip to Dartmoor National Park where you can explore the diverse landscapes in this stunning area. History in Ashburton Ashburton's unique history is believed to have begun in Saxon times. Finds unearthed in the area date back as far as 3000BC, but there is no evidence of a settlement until 500BC. Its location was most likely chosen for its presence of tin which has shaped the towns history ever since. It was an important centre for the tin trade during the middle ages and in 1305 became one of the four official stannary towns which had special powers to assay the tin produced from the Dartmoor mines. Its importance as the main stannary town peaked in 1515 when nearly 40% of Devon's tin was sold through Ashburton. When the local tin, iron and woollen trades declined in the 17th Century, Ashburton made a living from passing trade on the main road from Exeter to Plymouth and many of the buildings you see today date from this period.
