Mum at the Garden House.
The Garden House is a garden created at the Old Vicarage in the Village of Buckland Monachorum which is on the edge of dartmoor between Plymouth and Tavistock
Next we went to Tavistock which is a market town on the edges of Dartmoor not far from Plymouth. In the middle ages this was the site of a Large Monastry which, after Henry VIII disolved the monasteries, passed into the ownership of the Dukes of Bedford. There are few traces of the Monastry still to be seen. Sir Francis Drake was born a farm not far from here.
The River Tavy looking towards the bridge that leads to the town centre
The entrance to the Pannier Market which operates on most days and can be an interesting browse
The buiding which today contains the museum and also the Police Station, I believe this building dates back to the Monastry
The remains of a monastry gatehouse that would have led to the Abbotts residence
Then we drove through Chagford another town on the northern edges of Dartmoor and visited Chagford Common and Gidleigh Common where their are interesting prehistoric remains
