Ashburton Station

Ashburton Station is the former terminal of the railway Totnes to Ashburton branch line of the Great Western Railway. The railway closed completely in 1958, though was revived in 1969. However, the section between Buckfastleigh and Ashburton was abandoned to road builders and much of the formation lies buried between the A38.

In recent years proposals to redevelop the station site at Ashburton has led to the creation of a Friends of Ashburton Station group. Suggestions are also being made that perhaps one day the railway could be rebuilt between Buckfastleigh and Ashburton using a new alignment to the side of the A38.
