This National Trust property has an excellent record for providing fascinating events and activities for children. There are dozens of different events each season, so phone for details. Once Sir Francis Drake's Dartmoor home, and containing Drake's Drum (which they say will beat a warning if England is in dire peril), Buckland Abbey is steeped in history. Originally a 13th century Cistercian monastery, whose church is incorporated into the fabric of the house, it now contains many mementos and exhibits devoted to Drake's adventures and achievements. The grounds contain the magnificent monastic barn, craft workshops, herb garden and country walks, plus a new Elizabethan garden under construction. Admission to House & Garden:adult £4.60, child £2.30, family(2+3)£11.50. Grounds only, adults £2.40, child £1.20.
