Buckland Abbey

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The former home of Sir Francis Drake, Buckland Abbey was founded in 1278 by the Cistercian order of monks, the last Cistercian foundation in England. As with most Cistercian foundations, the abbey is located in a secluded location, making it one of the more enjoyable historic houses to visit in Devon. In addition to Drake memorabilia, an Elizabethan garden has been established at Bucklands, plus an aromatic herb garden, and there are enjoyable walks through the secluded estate. more details ...
