Buckfastleigh

While we were on Dartmoor we didn't just climb tors, visit pubs, look at ponies and try archery.  We also visited Buckfastleigh.  Home of butterflies, otters and a preserved steam railway...

The butterfly sheds are hot and humid, with tropical (I guess) plants.  The camera lens steamed over very quickly, and could get very few pictures.

And the butterflies were so quick, they were hard to catch.

The otters were alert, lively and endearing.  The otter sanctuary has several types.  We watched them being fed.

And then there were the trains.  Buckfastleigh is on the South Devon Railway, and of course is ex-GWR.

We stood and looked rather than rode.  And then went to the caff, and I ogled the model railway stuff in the shop (it really is quite comprehensive...).  And then farewell...
