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.
