This print captures the timeless beauty of Buckfast Abbey and Dartmoor in late 19th-early 20th century England. The abbey, dedicated to Saint Mary, has a rich history that dates back to its founding in 1018. Originally run by the Cistercian order, it suffered destruction during the Dissolution of the Monasteries but was revived in 1882 when monks returned to live there. The image showcases the stunning countryside surrounding Buckfast Abbey, with Dartmoor's majestic moors serving as a picturesque backdrop.
