Spring has started to at Buckland Abbey with a radiant display of colourings appearing within the gardens and around the estate. Up in Great North Wood you will soon be able to see a sea of colour as bluebells start to bloom, along with the rhododendrons, Rembrandt tulips, wild garlic and ransoms around the gardens and estate. It’s an ideal time to explore Buckland’s estate – be it with family, friends or with the dog. We’re expecting the bluebells to be in full colour early May, but do check our website for updates.
Volunteers make what Buckland Abbey is today, without them we are not able to achieve even half of what we have done already and our volunteer team continues to grow. Have you ever thought about volunteering? We’re looking for help both indoors as a room guide and as one of our formula 1 stars driving our visitor buggies. If you’re interested or want to learn more please do give us a call.[RB1]
Buckland Abbey is now open daily from 10.30am-5.30pm. For more details of our events, latest news and more please visit our website www.nationaltrust.org.uk/buckland,
