Seen here is a picture of the beautiful Dartmoor countryside, looking down upon the town of Chagford in Devon. This view into the valley below features a look at St. Michael's Church that dates back well into the 13th century.
The town of Chagford is said to have existed for over four thousand years, and originally grew thanks to the wool trade and tin mining in this area.

DEVON is a large county in southwestern England
The name "Devon" derives from the ancient Dumnonia, which was home to the independent kingdom of Brythonic Celtic speaking people who inhabited this area of the southwestern peninsula of Britain continuously from through the Roman era until partial absorption into the English-speaking Kingdom of Wessex some time in the eighth or ninth century.

Teignmouth is a seaside town, fishing port and civil parish in the English county of Devon. It is on the north bank of the estuary mouth of the River Teign, about 19 km south of Exeter. The town had a population of 14,932 at the 2021 census.
From the 1800s onwards, the town grew rapidly in size from a fishing port associated with the Newfoundland cod industry to a fashionable resort of some note in Georgian times; there was further expansion after the opening of the South Devon Railway in 1846. Today, its port still operates and the town remains a popular seaside and day-trip holiday location.
Although reduced from its heyday, Teignmouth still receives a considerable number of holiday makers. It is twinned with the French town Perros-Guirec.

My mum and dad brought me here for the first time when I was about two. I remember sitting on his shoulders for the duration of the visit while we were jostled by the crowds of visitors. It was rather different on my latest visit..
Beautiful Buckfast Abbey, which has all the appearance of a medieval building is in fact quite modern, though it has been built on the site of a Cistercian Abbey dating from 1134. This was destroyed in the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539, and the site was subsequently cleared.
In 1882 the site was purchased by a group of French Benedictine monks, who refounded a monastery on the site dedicated to Saint Mary. New monastic buildings and a temporary church were constructed. Work on the new abbey church, which was constructed mostly on the footprint of the former Cistercian abbey, started in 1907. The church was consecrated in 1932 but not completed until 1938.
Buckfast was formally reinstated as an Abbey in 1902, and the first abbot of the new institution, Boniface Natter, was blessed in 1903. The abbey continues to operate as a Benedictine foundation today.
