Ashburnham also includes Peterborough Lift Lock, a landmark engineering feature on the waterway. Local options include neighborhood cafés and restaurants, with broader shopping and dining along nearby Lansdowne Street and in downtown Peterborough. The Ashburnham Ale House adds a local dining and pub option. People get around by car, local transit, bike, and on foot, with the riverfront trail linking outdoor destinations.
