Hartland is a small village and civil parish on the rugged Hartland Peninsula in the Torridge district of North Devon, Devon, England. Perched above dramatic cliffs and rocky coves on the Atlantic seaboard, it is noted for coastal landmarks such as Hartland Point and Hartland Quay, and the South West Coast Path passes through the area, offering striking sea views and challenging walks.
The village has a long maritime and agricultural heritage and is anchored by historic buildings including Hartland Abbey and an old parish church with medieval roots. Today the local economy leans on farming, small-scale fishing and tourism - galleries, holiday lets and independent shops cater to walkers, photographers and those seeking a quieter, tightly knit rural community on the North Devon coast.
