Buckland Monachorum, Devon Weather
About Buckland Monachorum, Devon
Buckland Monachorum commands a high, airy ridge where the grey stone of the dwellings seems to have been pulled directly from the earth beneath. It lies 3.8 miles south of Tavistock (from Tavistock: bearing 171°T, OS grid SX 489 684), and is situated west-north-west of Crapstone village. Cold winds often whip across the open commons here, carrying the scent of damp bracken and the distant, restless movement of the River Tavy. A short walk to the south reveals Buckland Abbey, where the heavy, silent weight of medieval masonry anchors the landscape against the shifting clouds. The light in this corner of Devon possesses a peculiar clarity, sharpening the edges of the granite walls until they gleam like shards of iron against the green horizon. Nearby, the intricate plantings at The Garden House offer a riotous contrast to the austere, windswept fields that define the broader parish. Buckland Monachorum remains a place of stark, honest silhouettes, indifferent to the soft vanities of the lowlands. Those who walk the lanes find the silence broken only by the rhythmic clatter of farm machinery or the sudden, sharp call of a crow circling above the tors.
