Buckland is best known as the former home of Sir Francis Drake. It was founded in 1278 as a Cistercian abbey, which it remained until the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII. In 1541 Henry sold Buckland to Sir Richard Grenville, whose grandson sold the property to Drake in 1580.
The estate is now owned by the National Trust and has been open to the public since 1951.
