Book A Trip To Buckland Abbey & Plymouth With Berrys Coaches
Spend your morning exploring over 700 years of captivating history at Buckland Abbey, a treasure-filled house and museum originally built by Cistercian monks. The estate was later transformed by legendary seafarers Sir Richard Grenville and Sir Francis Drake, who altered both the architecture and British history. A key highlight is the magnificent medieval Great Barn, an ancient tithe barn that remains virtually untouched since the Middle Ages. Beyond the walls, well-marked paths lead you through orchards and woodlands with beautiful views of the Tavy Valley, alongside the vibrant Cider House Garden and its hidden wild garden.
In the afternoon, travel to Plymouth, Devon’s most dynamic maritime city, which offers plenty of nautical charm and year-round activities. Take in panoramic coastal views from the top of the iconic Smeaton’s Tower lighthouse or enjoy a shopping trip through the bustling city centre. Make sure to visit the historic Barbican waterfront district, home to a unique array of specialist boutique shops and the world-famous Plymouth Gin Distillery. Conclude your day by relaxing with food and drinks at one of the city’s many excellent cafes and restaurants.
