The first of our two visits this year is to historic Ashburton on Thursday 22 May. This will involve a visit to Ashburton History Museum and a guided walk around the town.
We have also arranged to have lunch at the Grange Cafe at Buckfast Abbey afterwards.
The visit will start promptly at Ashburton History Museum at 10.30. The visit will probably be split into 2 groups with one group starting with the Museum and the second with the walk, then vice versa. Both legs of the visit will take about an hour each so the visit will be through by about 12.30. The restaurant is about 10 minutes drive from the centre of Ashburton.
There is a small charge of £3 per head to cover the cost of the visit; lunch costs need to be covered individually on the day.
Ashburton History Museum is located at 1 West Street, Ashburton TQ13 7DT (opposite where West Street joins North Street). There is no parking on site but the town has two main car parks adjacent to each other behind the Town Hall accessed via North Street or Kingsbridge Lane. The one directly behind the Town Hall is the short term car park maximum 3 hours and the other off Kingsbridge Lane is a long term car park but the two car parks are joined at the top. Parking is available at the restaurant.
It would assist the organisation of the morning to know numbers in advance and to be able to let the restaurant know likely numbers for lunch. So could you let us know by email to kingstonlhs@gmail.com
