BUCKFASTLEIGH is a small market town on the old main road from Exeter to Plymouth, close to the Dart

The parish church (Holy Trinity) stands above and away from the town, on a high limestone rock which commands a view of the abbey, the Dart valley, and the beautiful woods. It is a 13th century building (tower and chancel) with a 15th century nave.

Buckfastleigh was "the clearing of Buckfast", and probably originated in the 13th century
