Evening Light at Buckfast Abbey - Dartmoor.

            Taken on a recent trip to Devon and Cornwall with Ellen Smith Tours.

Desiring to find a peaceful location to continue their monastic community after the anti-clerical laws were enacted in France, the monks of the community of La Pierre-qui-vire were driven from their homeland and re-established monastic life at Buckfast in 1882.

Today, those who visit the monastery are often drawn by the expectation of peace - of a place of calm in a rather hectic world, there is an atmosphere of calm, an absence of noise and other more worldly distractions. This is true even of the more secular visitor or group.
