Buckland Abbey
Buckland Abbey, Buckland Abbey, Yelverton, Devon, PL20 6EY
The Abbey is part museum, part house, and filled with treasures. There’s no mistaking the magnificence of the medieval Great Barn, originally a tithe barn which has remained virtually unchanged since it was built all those centuries ago.
You’ll discover meadows, orchards and woodlands where you can enjoy far-reaching views of the Tavy Valley. Our way-marked trails are a riot of colour through the seasons, with an unmissable carpet of bluebells in spring.
At the Cider House garden, herbaceous borders provide seasonal interest and a secret ‘wild’ garden is a wonderful place for quiet contemplation (or a game of hide and seek).
Find your favourite spot and you’ll want to come back to Buckland Abbey time and again.
Buckland Abbey is open daily from 10:00am - 5pm, last entry to the property is 4pm.
The Abbey itself is open from 11am - 4:30pm, with last entry to the Abbey at 4pm.
