Buckfast Abbey & Dartington

Trip Overview

Buckfast Abbey
Located at the centre of a picturesque valley on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, Buckfast Abbey is home to a community of Roman Catholic Benedictine Monks, who live their lives of prayer, work and study according to the ancient rule of St Benedict.
The heart of their site is the Abbey Church and Monastery – the place in which the Monastic Community lives and prays at various times throughout the day.
The site is historic – the original Abbey being founded in 1018 AD, by King Cnu.
Also situated here is their delightful restaurant The Grange which caters for visitors.

Dartington
We now move on to our second visit, home to Dartington Hall and a whole host of small shops built along the quaint river valley.
Beautifully peaceful and at one with nature if you fancy a stroll along the many pathways.
