It is easy to commune with the past at this atmospheric building. This living history lesson is so rewarding. Again, a lovely environment.

We stumbled across Buckland Abbey and were surprised by how interesting and beautiful it was. The history of Sir Francis Drake was fascinating and the imaginative way that the story of the Abbey was presented was great.

we have the years membership for National Trust and Buckland Abbey is a favourite of ours and we are there frequently. Plenty to do, staff/volunteers are extremely friendly and welcoming. My children love venturing in the gardens, trails and the Abbey. Plenty for all ages.

A lovely walk through woods full of bluebells on the red walk. The abbey has interesting information about Sir Francis Drake. There is also the biggest barn I have ever seen!

Lovely visit to a calm location and a very interesting visit.

Buckland Abbey has a great atmosphere and a good tale to tell with the Drake Exhibitions. It is in an amazing position and the gardens, barn and house are all very interesting. We are members of the National Trust so gain from free admission but it is well worth paying to go in if you are not.

I found this place very interesting, and full of insight. Its a brilliant place to visit !! I went with the girls on a day out, absolutley fantastic. Loved it.
