We took two of those living with us to Buckfast Abbey, to enjoy the scenery and More...Fresh Air. The Abbey forms part of an active Benedictine Monastery at Buckfast.
Both the people who live with us are Roman Catholic, so this appeals to them both very much. The Abbey church is quite spectacular, with a mix of modern and medieval touches, and the Gardens are small and formal, but beautiful.
We learnt that the monastery is self-sufficient, much of its income comes from selling produce from the farm, which includes honey and the infamous Buckfast Tonic wine!
