Hartland Abbey lies across a narrow, sheltered valley which winds its way to the spectacular Atlantic Coast. It is a beautiful walk even when the house itself is not open to visitors.
Hartland Abbey itself is the lived-in family home of the Stucley family - dating with the time of the Conquerer, it is a fascinating treasure trove of history as well as a living family house.
Hartland Quay Perched on the western seaboard, this is a magnificent setting : twenty miles of sheer granite cliff face along the coastal path. Visit at full tide and in rough seas for the most spectacular views and sup at the Hartland Quay Hotel where you can survey the shipwrecks map for this dramatic coastline.
