Brief Description:
"The Valiant Soldier was an active pub in Buckfastleigh which closed in the late 1960′s and never re-opened. Everything was literally left as it was and today, it’s open as a museum, giving visitors a glimpse into the past. Many of the furnishings, fixtures and fittings remain with some dating back to the 1940’s and 1950’s."
