Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A very attractive village near Yelverton, on the western edge of Dartmoor. Buckland Monachorum is famous for its association with Sir Francis Drake, who lived at Buckland Abbey just outside the town.

In the village is Garden House, an 8 acre modern garden that has been called 'The best in Britain'.
