The Buckfast Abbey walk



The actual walking (and talking) began and ended at the tiny village of Scorriton. However, the refectory at Buckfast Abbey was the meeting point and focus of morning coffee and afternoon tea. The walkers also used a picnic as an excuse for a rest on the long uphill climb which resulted in impressive views. The sky looks threatening, but it hasn't actually rained for weeks and weeks.




A typical view from the top of a long uphill trudge


The path, with a pig run to the left of the fence


The handsome, very happy, intelligent (!), spotted pig which demolished leftover sandwiches.


A perfect picnic spot for another time


Distant views


This walk had everything - even its own chocolate box thatched cottage.
