Overview

Ashburton & Whiddon Scrubs

Thursday, 29 January 2026
Start time:
10:30 am
Estimated finish time:
1:30 pm
Difficulty:
Moderate
Distance:
8.9km / 5.5mi
Ascent:
N/A
Type:
circular

As this walk is likely to finish between 1pm and 1.30pm, rather than stopping for lunch 15 mins before we get back to the start, there will be an option to have a drink and a sandwich in a local cafe in Ashburton. There are 4 or 5 small cafes we could use and it would be good to support local business. We can decide before we set off.
This is a particularly muddy walk with one huge puddle to navigate near the farm, so do come prepared!
