About This Event

The Monastic Buckland: A Guided Tour at Buckland Abbey in Plymouth offers a guided walk to discover the monastery's past. The tour includes an introductory talk by volunteer guide Brian. Admission is required. The event is part of a recurring series.

Join volunteer guide Brian for an introductory talk and guided walk to discover the mysteries of Buckland Abbey's monastic past.

Why did a group of 13th century monks leave their monastery on the Isle of Wight to build an abbey in rural Devon? What was it like, and how much of the monastery survives today?

You will discover fascinating architecture and facts at every turn, and piece together the story of Buckland Abbey, from its first-laid stones to the dissolution of the monasteries.

This event takes place on the first Thursday of every month. The tour is free and lasts about 1.5 hours. Pre-booking essential.
