A visit to Buckland Abbey

Yesterday, Viv and I were joined by our friends Eve and Al at Buckland Abbey, a former cistercian monestery which, after the dissoluition of the monateries in the 16th century was converted into a family home and was owned by firstly Sir Richard Grenville and later by Sir Francis Drake. 
The house is situated near the River Tavey between Plymouth and Tavistock
The photos are of the old tithe barn and Eve, Al and Viv in the old stable yard. Thanks to Eve for the bee keeper photo.
