About Us
The Hartland Peninsula Association (HPA) is a non profit-making
organisation, which was established in January 2004 as a result
of interest that had been generated from the production of a
small leaflet produced in 2002 promoting the environment and
heritage of the Hartland Peninsula. This ruggedly beautiful
area is defined as running from Brownsham National Trust in
the north to Bursdon Moor in the south, and all areas lying
west of the A39 between these points.
The HPA has a vision for the area:
A thriving rural
community in a beautiful Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
where the environment is recognised and respected as an asset.
In
order to work towards this Vision the HPA has developed this
website and produced a new 2005 brochure on this area. The aim
is to market the area more effectively to targeted day and overnight
visitors. We hope that this will:
- Make more people aware of the peninsula
- Inform day and overnight visitors of the attractions
and services the area has to offer,
- Encourage more people to stay with accommodation providers
on the peninsula,
- Provide the residents of Hartland with a bank of information
on the website to encourage increased use of local goods
and services.
Its purpose...
The purpose of the association is for members of the community
to work together to promote tourism and market the area in order
to sustain tourism and local businesses. In so doing it seeks
to maintain the unique character of this stunning and unspoilt
coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
