Today we diceded to re-visit Buckland Abbey which is close to the River Tavy between Plymouth and Tavistock to see some parts that have only recently become available to visitors. This is a cottage which started life as the monastery Abbots House and which dates back to the 14th century. It is now available as a holiday let
This is the Cider Press cottage which is just in front of the Abbots House
