The Hartland Peninsula
In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

> BBC Drama Sense and Sensibility shot in Hartland, Devon!

Set against the spectacular Atlantic coastline, the 17,000 acres of the Hartland Peninsula offer a landscape of wonderful contrasts.

Tucked away in the far North West corner of Devon, this area is a haven of peace and tranquillity, perfect for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

  • Twelve miles of spectacular coastline
  • Breathtaking scenery
  • Wonderful cliff top walks
  • Beautiful secluded beaches
  • An abundance of rare flora and fauna
  • Stunning starlit skies

As you cross the peninsula, high open moorland and ancient woodland give way to coastal waterfalls tumbling from hanging valleys onto rocky shores. These meandering valleys create sheltered micro-climates which support an abundance of wild flowers, rare lichens, culm grassland, insects, birds and animals.

> Hartland Community

Hartland was one of the largest royal manors in the Saxon time of King Alfred. Today the village has a thriving community with shops, schools, three churches, medical centre, dentist, pubs and many skilled craftspeople. The village also has a wide variety of sports, special interest and social clubs and groups.

The focal points of the Peninsula must be Hartland Point, rising 350ft above sea level and home to the lighthouse, and Hartland Quay with its dramatic rugged coastline, unbelievable rock formation and fascinating geological sites. Both command the most wonderful views imaginable. Sunset here is a magical experience.
