Dart Country Park is an outdoors adventure
playground with trees that include redwoods
and red cedars, and nearby Dartmeet is one of
Dartmoor’s most popular beauty spots.
Buckfast Abbey, just a few miles from
Ashburton, stands as a testament to the
ingenuity and sheer determination of French
monks who rebuilt it over a period of 30 years
in the 20th century. The original 11th century
structure abbey was destroyed by Henry VIII.
Also nearby is the Iron Age hill fort of
Boro Wood Camp above the fast flowing the
River Dart. |
