Buckland Brewer is a village and civil parish in the Torridge district of Devon, England, 4.7 miles south of Bideford.

The village had a successful football team, Buckland Brewer FC, managed by John Adams.

The estate of Vielstone is the earliest known residence of the influential Stevens family, later of Smythacott in Frithelstock, Winscott House in Peters Marland and Cross, Little Torrington.

Judith Hancock's mural monument survives in the parish church at Great Torrington.

In the early 21st century, Vielstone is a modest farmhouse, surrounded by converted farm buildings and new bungalows.

It was operated by Atlas Project Team (Holdings) Ltd as a residential home until about 2012 when its standards of care reached unacceptably low levels which resulted in its closure and insolvency.

On behalf of the administrator Grant Thornton UK LLP it was offered for sale in 2013 by Webbers estate agents for £900,000, including the outbuildings converted into dwellings, and 6 acres of land.
