Buckfastleigh: Buckfast Abbey Buckfastleigh: Buckfast Abbey No Data

Description


Opened in 1932 on the site of an older monetary which had been destroyed during the reformation, the abbey is today the home to a small community of monks, who’s chief function appears to be to pull in the tourist pound and produce their well known Buckfast tonic wine, more commonly seen in the hands of the worst street drinkers!
