Buckland is a small village located 8 miles (12.9 km) east-
south-east of Barnstaple in North Devon, England. Formerly part
of the Fortescue Estate, it is reached by most along a winding,
mostly one track, steep hill up from the North Devon Link Road.
The village may be best known for having given its name to the
adjacent co-educational independent West Buckland School:
educators of, amongst others, British world record triple-jumper
Jonathan Edwards. Despite taking the name, the school comprising
its preparatory school, three boarding houses and the public
school itself is located on an extensive campus about 1 km east
of the village and instead it is the small parish church which
draws most visitors from the local area.  Media in category
