Hartland  | Once a busy Georgian market town, Hartland is now a beautiful, peaceful idyll set in stunning surroundings. It’s a rare visitor who leaves without seeing Hartland Abbey; built 850 years ago, the Abbey is a magnificent residence (it is still a family home to this day) which exhibits a variety of architectural styles including Queen Anne and Regency. Hartland Quay, a short distance from the village, is known for the immense rock formations that rear out of the sea; storms battering the north Devon coast here are invariably a dramatic sight. |

Docton Mill Gardens
These unique gardens include wild flowers, a riverside walk and an unusual bog garden.

Treat yourself to an award-winning cream tea at the Docton Mill Tea Room, voted Best Cream Tea in Devon at the 2007 North Devon Food & Drink Awards, or try some of the local homegrown produce - the Brixham crab sandwiches and homemade chutneys are firm favourites.

Hartland Point
The South West Coast Path provides some of the most stunning scenery including Lundy Island from the high cliffs in north Devon. Try starting at Hartland Point and walking towards the lighthouse and then the radio mast, looking out for the rusting remains of the Johanna shipwreck on the beach. A circular route along Blagdon Cliff and then Upright Cliff (where there is a small waterfall) will take you inland to Blagdon Farm and eventually your starting point.

The Farmer's Arms
The Farmer's Arms is the historic local pub in Devon's 'village with two names'. The original name, Woolfardisworthy, is a bit of tongue twister, so locals shortened it to Woolsery; one village, two names, one great pub. Stop by and visit the resident ghost.

Welcombe
The majority of those holidaying in North Devon never stumble across Welcombe, yet they are missing out on one of the area’s prettiest villages. Straddling a deep valley, Welcombe is divided by a stream which winds its way to the cliff edge and drops to the sea in a picturesque waterfall. A few miles down the coast is Bude, with half a dozen beaches and pubs, cafes and restaurants galore, but the idyllic atmosphere of Welcombe may prove difficult to leave.
