What a lovely place . The air of tranquillity is amazing ,as is the Devon cream tea. Great visitor centre and good shops and a nice little Methodist chapel ,free parking and entry all go to make this a great place to visit . Just down the road from the steam railway another great place to visit.

Enjoying a profound sense of calm and quiet, buried deep in a Devon valley, Buckland Abbey has been a home for hundreds of years. The Cistercian monks who founded this abbey in the later 13th Century led a life of religious contemplation and fruitful toil, working the land and tending their animals. Passed into private hands after Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries, Buckland Abbey underwent a major conversion to become the grand home of rich and famous seafarers, including Sir Francis Drake. For all that has changed over 750 years, Buckland is a place that has kept its air of peace and tranquility for modern day pilgrims to enjoy.

Walked along the side of this leat just outside Princetown-Quite a work of engineering but only one of many leats on Dartmoor- one at least passed right through a longhouse kitchen area so the family could access fresh water any time!
9. Church House
10. Sanders
Sanders is a rare survival of a near perfect long-house of about 1500 in Lettaford, an ancient settlement on the fringes of Dartmoor, with walks from the door. Sanders can be booked for short breaks with the Landmark Trust, a charity that restores historic buildings at risk and makes them available for holidays.
