About

Hartland ward encompasses a large rural area on the rugged northwestern coast of Devon. The landscape is dominated by farmland, steep wooded valleys, and dramatic cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The main settlement is the historic village of Hartland itself, with its notable church and small cluster of shops and services. Several smaller hamlets and isolated farmsteads are scattered throughout the parish, connected by narrow, winding lanes.

The coastline here is part of the Hartland Peninsula, with the Hartland Point lighthouse marking a significant navigational hazard. The area's geology is prominent, featuring folded and contorted rock strata exposed along the shore. The ward includes the remote hamlet of Stoke, near the mouth of the River Tamar, and extensive tracts of agricultural land. Economic activity is largely based on farming and some tourism related to the coastal path and scenery.
