Ash Cross, Devon

England

Ash Cross lies along the A386 in north Devon's gentle countryside, serving as a handy junction for exploring the area's network of country lanes. Most visitors arrive via the A30 from Exeter, then follow the A386 north through Okehampton. Electric vehicle drivers will find around 18 fast chargers nearby, particularly in Hatherleigh. The settlement's name comes from an ancient ash tree that once marked the meeting point of four parish boundaries at this crossroads.
