Buckland Abbey dates from 1278 when it was built as a Cistercian Abbey.

After the disolution of the monasteries, Henry VIII sold the abbey to Sir Robert Grenville the Elder who converted it to a residential building. Sir Francis Drake later lived here.

Buckland Abbey is now owned by the National Trust and both the property and gardens are open to the public. See their website for further details nationaltrust.org.uk/buckland-abbey
