Buckfast Abbey is a famous Benedictine Monastery about 25 miles from Plymouth,
on the edge of Dartmoor, in the small town of Buckfastleigh.
The Abbey is famous for many things, for example,
Buckfast Tonic Wine is a world wide favourite with a particularly devoted following in Scotland.
It also has a world reputation in the field of Beekeeping.
For 60 years, up to 1993, Buckfast played a prominent role in research, under Brother Adam,
into the breeding of new strains of disease resistant bees.
Today many visitors come to admire the stained glass window in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel,
which was designed by Dom Charles Norris, a Benedictine monk in the Buckfast Abbey Community.
