Buckfast Devon Map

About Buckfast

Buckfast, a place where the river Dart whispers secrets, rests in Devon's Teignbridge district. It lies 1.1 km north of Buckfastleigh (from Buckfastleigh: bearing 5°T, OS grid SX 740 672). The air here, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant livestock, often holds a peculiar stillness, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the lowing of cattle grazing the verdant slopes. The ancient Benedictine Abbey, though largely a reconstruction, still casts a long shadow, its weathered stone a quiet witness to centuries of prayer and labour. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-grey Devon sky, falls in broad, luminous swathes across the patchwork fields, illuminating the stoic resilience of the landscape.
