Nestled in the shadow of Dartmoor, in a beautiful wooded valley beside the river Dart, Buckfast Abbey is a working monastery offering visitors a tranquil refuge from the hectic pace of everyday life.
Buckfastleigh, Devon
The Abbey is a working monastery where a community of Benedictine monks live self sufficiently, welcoming visitors from all around the world.
At the heart of the site is the abbey church, a spiritual haven with an overwhelming sense of peace. The church is surrounded by gardens which in the summer come alive with colour. Spacious lawns and three specialist garden areas are maintained for pleasure and relaxation. These comprise a lavender garden, a physic garden and a sensory garden.
A gentle stroll along well laid paths leads to carefully thought out areas which help to aid in a relaxing visit. Many gems and hidden garden areas are also there for the finding, including the 'secret garden’.

Anaml iawn y gwelwch yng Nghymru eglwys sydd â chladin pren gwyn – ac mae gan yr Eglwys Norwyaidd stori unigryw i’w hadrodd, yn ogystal â chysylltiad ag un o hoff awduron plant y byd: Roald Dahl.

Adeiladwyd yr eglwys hon yn 1883-6 gan y pensaer J Prichard. Ei fwriad gwreiddiol oedd adeiladu eglwys ar ffurf croes, ond daeth yn amlwg bod hyn yn rhy uchelgeisiol - ac adeiladwyd tair cilfach cyntaf corff yr eglwys yn unig.
