Hartland Devon

Hartland Quay is located on the Atlantic coast of Devon, England, south of Hartland Point and north of Bude, Cornwall. It experiences some of the roughest seas in winter and is a former harbour.
History
The harbour dated back to the time of Henry VIII until a storm led to the complete destruction of the pier head and later the whole pier wall in 1887. Parts of the old formation stones can be seen at low tide. As well as evidence of a counter pier. The only evidence visible at all times is the lyme kiln. The old Customs House has been a hotel since 1886 and its former stables are now 'The Wrecker's Retreat' bar. The former corn and hay lofts are now hotel bedrooms. In 'The Wrecker's Retreat' are displayed memorabilia charting the history of Hartland Quay as well as displays of shipwrecks on the coast over the centuries. Also shown are the various films and television shows that have been filmed here. The former Coastguard cottages are now toilets, still a private residence, shop and museum of the quay. Current access to the sea and beach is provided by a slipway.
Hartland Quay has featured in a number of films, including Treasure Island (1950), The War Zone (1995), Element of Doubt (1996), Solomon Kane (2009), and Rebecca (2020).[1]
Several ships have been wrecked at Hartland Quay including SS Rosalia and SS Ginetorix.[citation needed] 19th century wrecks included Edward & Ann (1809), Test (1843), Eclipse (1865), Jenny Jones (1868), Zuma (1871), Deux Freres (1885), Royal Saxon (1886), Londos (1891), and Clipper (1895). Numerous other vessels have come to grief at Hartland Point, a few miles to the north.[2]

Well, I think this may be my fave video so far. The lovely village with such a great name, the beautiful church and then down to the sea and the magnificent views! Very relaxing and indeed not many better ways to spend a Sunday evening. Lovely musical accompaniment too. Thank you... A visit to Devon is needed.

Thank you, i very much enjoyed making this one, The Cove was a little of a surprise, it was a beautiful way to spend a Sunday evening. A magical place if I'm honest. There are some places that you come across that take your breath away and this was one of them. I appreciate your kind comments, other than making them for myself, it's really heart warming to know others like them.
