Buckland Abbey |
||
|
Buckland was originally a small but influential Cistercian monastery. The house, incorporating the remains of the 13th-century abbey church, has rich associations with Sir Francis Drake and his seafaring rival, Sir Richard Grenville, containing much interesting memorabilia from their time including the famed Drake's Drum.
There are exhibitions on Buckland's history as well as a magnificent monastic barn, traditional herb garden, estate walks and craft workshops. There are also exhibition galleries, film and interactive displays, a hand-crafted plasterwork ceiling in the Drake Chamber, an Elizabethan garden and the Cot Lane rural crafts area.
