The Hartland Area

In order to make a full day out, combine your visit to Hartland Abbey and its garden and grounds with a walk around our village of Hartland with it's Craft shops, potteries etc.   St Nectan's Church,  Stoke, between Hartland Abbey and Quay, is known as the Cathedral of North Devon.  Some of the most spectacular coastline in the British Isles, which can be seen from a number of vantage points, is accessible by vehicle or foot.  The South West coastal footpath passes within a mile of the Abbey.

Enjoy such a view at Hartland Quay, where accommodation is available together with  super pub lunches in the cosy Wreckers Retreat.  Across the way from the Hotel there is a gift shop and a wonderful Shipwreck Museum dedicated to the local area and its association with the sea.  

A short drive will take you to Docton Mill and Gardens. This old mill, of Saxon origins, has accommodation, light meals and beautiful gardens.  Within this locality  there is the unique fishing village of Clovelly with it's cobbled streets and harbour side.
