Dartmouth Museum

Dartmouth

Dartmouth Museum is a small, fascinating, and interesting museum housed in an atmospheric old merchant’s house, built in approximately 1640. The Museum houses an extensive collection of artifacts, models, paintings, and photographs that can help you explore and develop your interests, whether they be in maritime history, the social and economic history of the town of Dartmouth, or the physical changes to the town over the past centuries.

Buckfast Abbey

Buckfastleigh

Since time immemorial, deer have been drawn to graze in the sheltered meadows which line the banks of the River Dart in this Devonshire valley and quench their thirst in the cooling waters which flow here from high up on the moors and down towards the sea.

The National Trust

Buckland Abbey

Yelverton

When you visit Buckland, you follow over 700 years of footsteps; from the Cistercians who built the Abbey and farmed the estate, to seafarers Grenville and Drake who changed the shape of the house and the fate of the country. The Abbey is part museum, part house, and filled with treasures. There’s no mistaking the magnificence of the Great Barn, which has remained virtually unchanged since it was built all those centuries ago.
