Dance, arts, film, contemporary performance, literature, music - there's a year-round programme of events at this wonderful medieval house set on a 1,200 acre estate by the River Dart.
Step back in time and chug along beside the River Dart with a trip on the Buckfastleigh to Totnes railway. First opened in 1872, the route was re-opened as a preserved steam line in 1969. At Buckfastleight station there is a railway museum, model railway shop, picnic area, maze and children's play area.
