Buckfast Abbey Fish Pass

For Buckfast Abbey

2022

Located in South Devon within the grounds of the historic Buckfast Abbey on the River Dart,
where a monastic community has been present for over 1000 years, an old existing weir on
the river had begun to collapse and full failure of the structure was imminent. At the same
site on the river, an old pool and historic traverse fish pass were also dilapidated and
presented too great a leap for fish to successfully make their way upstream for feeding and
reproduction in the spawning grounds.
