Hartland is a pleasant village described as ‘the most welcoming community’ in North Devon. It really is a lovely place to live and visit.

The village itself has quite a few useful shops, pubs and churches and a primary school too. The highlights of the larger area of Hartland includes the dramatic Hartland Quay with its craggy black rocks and friendly hotel. The South West Coast path takes in Hartland Point and Speke’s Mill Mouth. There’s the lighthouse, Hartland Abbey and an iconic radar station in the area too, so it’s quite a spot to explore. It’s rural Devon at its very best.

Hartland is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.

From Bideford Quay proceed to the A39 Heywood Road roundabout and turn left towards Bude. Drive approximately 12 miles (past the first turning for the B3248) and take the next right hand turning onto the B3248 at Baxworthy Corner (large green sign on A39) to Hartland. After 1 mile, turn left signposted Philham / Elmscott. Carry on at Philham Cross turning left towards Philham.
