This is a beautiful church and graveyard setting, very unspoiled. The stones tell an absorbing story about the local area. Bonus... public toilets adjacent
9. Hartland Abbey & Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 340 reviews
Only one mile from Hartland Quay, Hartland Abbey lies across a narrow, sheltered valley which winds its way to the spectacular Atlantic Coast. Within a designated ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ visitors may wander around the beautiful gardens and grounds which lead to the rocky cove. Peacocks and guinea fowl roam at will, whilst donkeys and Black Welsh Mountain sheep graze the Old Deer Park.Hartland Abbey is the lived-in family home of the Stucley family. Although it was built in the 12th century, remaining as a monastery for 400 years and passing through the female line three times, it has never been sold. Consequently, it contains collections of pictures, furniture and porcelain which have accumulated over many generations. The story of the Abbey mirrors local and national history at every turn. It has a friendly and lived-in atmosphere, so often absent in many of our nation’s historic houses, a point continually remarked upon by those who visit us.

I Had so wanted to visit the garden as featured in the wild garden book, although i wouldn't class it as Wild, but stunning, immaculate lawns and borders, flowers in full bloom and just one gardener. There was so much to see, bog garden, shubbery, exhibition......and walk along a track, overhanging tree's allowing dappled sunshine to stream through, fields of all black sheep, a small folly set amongst the woodland...continuing to reveal a wide view of wild sea and rugged coast, to the right another path over towards Clovelly and to the left towards Hartland Quay.......i couldn't resist just a mile and half of steep cliff giving coast line views well worthy of the climb! i didnt have much time left to get back before the Abbey closes at 5pm, still just enough time for a Crab Salad in the Abbey Courtyard, Ordered safely through the front Abbey Window in these Covid times it was the best visit to escape and restore. I will revisit.

Worth the drive to get to this far flung lighthouse. Amazing position on Hartland Point and we had clear views across the Bristol Channel to South Wales. Absolutely stunning on a sunny day.
