Buckfastleigh, Devon

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A pleasant old market town on the south eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park. A peculiar mausoleum in the churchyard is the burial place of Richard Carbell (d 1677) rumoured by locals to be in league with the devil. The tales about Carbell inspred Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. Just outside the town is Buckfast Abbey, a modern monastery on the site of a medieval monastery. Buckfast Abbey is famous for its honey, from bees kept by the monks themselves.
