Home to a commununity of
  Benedictine Monks

Since time immemorial, deer have been drawn to graze in the
sheltered meadows which line the banks of the river Dart in
this Devonshire valley and quench their thirst in the cooling
waters which flow here from high up on the moors and down
towards the sea.

For nearly a thousand years, people have been drawn here, too.
They have come to search for God. For God who is everywhere,
certainly, but as they happened upon this place, they sensed that
its beauty, its silence and tranquillity, its community of people
who were similarly searching, made it a place where God might
easily be found.
