Hartland
Click to enlarge images below:
On the extreme West of North Devon is the large unspoilt parish of Hartland with contrasting moors and delightful wooded valleys; tall cliffs rise above the rugged coastline hiding secluded bays.
The sizeable village has developed around the square where St John's Chapel, with its ancient town clock was built on the site of the old market and town hall. St John's is now home for the town band and the male voice choir.
There are various craft workshops in the village with occasional art and craft fayres in the Parish Hall. Across a sheltered valley is the 12th Century Abbey, with gardens which lead down to the rocky cove. At the west end of Hartland, Springfield leads into The Vale, where a pleasant walk takes you to Stoke, where you will find the parish church of St. Nectan with its commanding 128ft tower, described as "the Cathedral" of North Devon
