Welcome to Abbey

Abbey in Devon is a small village located in the South West of England. It is situated in the heart of the Devonshire countryside and is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields. The village is known for its picturesque beauty and is a popular destination for tourists who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Abbey is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Abbey Church of St Mary and St Gabriel, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a stunning example of Norman architecture and is a must-see for anyone visiting the village.

One of the main attractions in Abbey is the Abbey Mill, which is a working watermill that has been in operation since the 16th century. The mill is powered by the River Teign and is still used to grind flour to this day. Visitors can take a tour of the mill and learn about the history of milling in Devon. The mill also has a small shop where visitors can purchase freshly ground flour and other local produce.

Abbey is also home to a number of walking trails that take visitors through the beautiful Devonshire countryside. The Teign Gorge is a popular destination for hikers and offers stunning views of the River Teign and the surrounding hills. The trail is relatively easy and is suitable for all ages and abilities. For those who are looking for a more challenging hike, the Dartmoor National Park is just a short drive away and offers a range of trails that take visitors through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the UK.
