About Cache Creek

Ashcroft is located in the British Columbia region on the west coast of Canada. It is a small settlement. The town is on the banks of the Thompson River. Ashcroft is one of the centers of the period called "Gold Rush". Following the discovery of the first gold mine in 1859 in this area, the period called "Cariboo Gold Rush" was experienced in a large area including Ashcroft, which was founded in 1860 by Cornwall brothers Clement Francis and Henry Pennant, who are British immigrants.

The British Cornwall brothers who came to find gold in the region have decided to trade flour as a result of unsuccessful gold exploration stories, and they have paved the way for the settlement in the region. Ashcroft, where people searched for gold for many years, has also contributed to the regional development of British Columbia. Ashcroft is located on the railway and transit highway routes. Thompson Okanagan, which also covers the Thompson River, is the most favorable area for tourism in the town. Outdoor activities such as trekking, hiking, golf, fossil hunting, camping, canoeing, rowing, mountain biking, rafting, and fishing are available in this area. The town also hosts the famous Ashcroft ‘Wellness Festival' thanks to its clean air and unique natural texture. The historic Gold Rush Wagon Road between the Ashcroft Museum and Ashcroft-Barkerville is one of the most interesting tourist attractions in the town.

In addition, among the major tourist activities are the 'Gold Country' tours to see the Gold Rush areas, and Ashcroft Heritage Walking Tour to see the cultural and historical heritage dating from the 1800s in the region. The steppe climate is effective in Ashcroft where there is a small amount of rainfall during the year. Cache Creek Airport is only 8 kilometers away from Ashcroft.
