Ashton in Cornwall, England is a small, typically Cornish hamlet tucked into rolling farmland and narrow lanes, with the low granite cottages and hedged fields that characterise much of the county. Its quiet setting makes it feel quite rural and peaceful, while the coast and moorland of Cornwall are never far away, so it’s a handy base for coastal walks and exploring the wider landscape.
Historically the community has been rooted in agriculture and the wider economic patterns of Cornwall, and today life there mixes traditional farming with people who commute to nearby towns and some tourism-related activity such as holiday cottages. There’s a strong local sense of Cornish identity and village-scale social life - parish events, local clubs and the occasional village pub or hall tend to be the focus of community life.
