Buckland Abbey
This National Trust attraction of Buckland Abbey comes surrounded by stunning views towards the Tavy Valley in the distance. A memorable day out amidst historic beauty awaits here!
Over 700 years of history can be enjoyed here, from the time the Cistercians built the abbey and its surrounding estate, to when Grenville and Drake renovated the property.
During a tour of the abbey, you’ll uncover the old Tudor mansion that it has been renovated into. A great hall and barn are two major spaces to see here, both boasting impressive interiors.
Buckland Abbey is also home to fascinating artwork, such as Rembrandt’s self-portrait and an array of impressive statues.
The surrounding orchards, woodlands and meadows are equally as beautiful as Buckland Abbey, with ample trails waiting to be explored.
Alternatively, head to Buckland Abbey’s garden. Here, you’ll be pleased to find a pretty kitchen garden packed with vegetables, as well as a wild garden harbouring hidden gems.
