The nearby Ancient Stannary Town of Ashburton has a wealth of individual and interesting shops and places of interest. When you finally weary from all the hard shopping, Ashburton has had a reputation for its pubs, inns and coaching houses for hundreds of years. Many of the pubs and inns still exist today so you will have no trouble in finding a good place to quench your thirst or have a bite to eat ready to carry on.
