The Hartland Peninsula in North Devon is a beautiful combination of sweeping valleys,
tumbling waterfalls and dramatic cliffs, the perfect place to escape and unwind. Hartland
gives it name to the Peninsula to the West of Bideford Bay – culminating in Hartland Point,
as well as the large village of Hartland midway between Bideford and Bude. Hartland
Peninsula has been designated an Area of Natural Beauty – explore its open moorland and
ancient woodlands; and discover stunning cliff top views, secluded beaches and abundant
wildlife.

Visit Hartland Quay – a former important harbour and port on this stretch of coast, now
home to the Ship Wreck museum, an excellent pub and some fantastic fishing. The village
of Hartland is slightly inland, enjoying a more sheltered position. Within the village you will
find village shops stocking general provisions, craft shops, galleries, tea rooms, pubs, a
health spa – even its own Brewery! The pretty village of Clovelly is just 5 miles west and
famous for its donkeys that were once used to carry goods up the steep hills from the
village and now give visitors a helping hand with their bags and shopping.
