Buckland Abbey Description
Eight mi/13km southwest of Lydford, beyond Yelverton, stands Buckland Abbey, a former Cistercian house, founded 1278, and gifted in 1541 to Sir Richard Grenville, whose grandson made it into a country house. In 1581 it was bought by Sir Francis Drake (died 1596). It is now a museum housing an exhibition about the abbey and items of naval history, with memorabilia of Drake, including Drake's Drum.
