Hartland Peninsula

The Hartland Peninsula, tucked away in the north west corner of Devon, offers a remoteness, wildness and beauty unlike any other area, encompassing a wide variety of landscapes from secluded beaches, spectacular coastal walks, wild moorland and ancient woodland. The welcoming village of Hartland has a variety of shops, pubs and craft workshops as well as an old market town hall which boasts one of the earliest working public clocks. The coastline has seen numerous shipwrecks over the years; the lighthouse at Hartland Point was constructed to warn mariners of the dangerous cliffs along this stretch of coastline. Do allow plenty of time to enjoy the hospitality of the local communities who make up the Hartland Peninsula Association.

The trail is available for purchase from The Post Office and The Farm Shop in Hartland village, as well as the Hartland Quay Hotel and Buck's Cross Post Office.

This is a driving and walking Treasure Hunt Trail around the Hartland Peninsula. It covers around 12 miles by vehicle and 2 miles on foot. There are several suggested optional walking routes if you wish to extend your visit. See the booklet enclosed with the printed copy of each trail or visit www.hartlandpeninsula.co.uk for further details. The Trail is suitable for light pushchairs but regrettably not wheelchairs, due to the rugged terrain. Please be aware that the lanes are narrow in places and can be muddy at times!
