I liked the colours and the dramatic black clouds in this shot. It will be even better when I get a new camera the shrubs will be sharp.

Buckland Abbey was established in 1278. It was the last of 74 Cistercian Abbeys to be built in England. After the Dissolution it passed to the Sir Richard Grenville and then to Sir Francis Drake. It is now owned by the National Trust.

Meads were popular from the fifteenth century onwards and were valued for the beauty, A mead represented the rich diversity of the natural world tamed and was an area for quiet contemplation and relaxation.

The great barn was used to store the produce of the Abbey's vast estates. It is 87 metres long, 10 metres wide and 8 metres to the eaves. It is supported by great buttresses on the outside with a central wagon porch on each long side. Inside it has an impressive, raised cruck timber roof.

I was waiting ages for this butterfly to open it's wings but it must of been camera shy.

I'm scared to death of bees but just managed to get close enough to take this shot.

As you can see I'm not green fingered enough to know the names of the plants and forgot to take a picture of the labels for future reference. If you know any of the names please leave it in the comments and I'll update the names. Thanks

This was the only plant I remembered to get the name of, O well I enjoyed walking around the beautiful gardens anyway.

This was a lucky shot of the Dragonfly but why couldn't it land on a flower that wasn't half dead.

I liked the colours in this picture with the blue greenhouse.

Most of the glass in the Great East Window is from the 14th century. Nine figures, including those of Abraham, Moses and Isaiah at the top, date from 1304.

The Pipes of the Organ on the pulpitum screen are housed in a case made originally by John Loosemoore in 1665. The Organ is played from a four-manual console which is also on the screen to the left of the Organ case.
