Hartland Lighthouse and Hartland Point
Hartland Point Lighthouse
The now former lighthouse at Hartland Point, north Devon. This is now a private home and the light has been switched off and removed. The day I visited was not a great day for filming, but Lundy Island could just be made out through the gloom. The road leading to the lighthouse has eroded so access to the lighthouse is now only by helicopter. The Johanna (shipwreck seen in video) wrecked here in 1982.
I would not advise climbing the cliffs as rock falls here are very frequent.

The village of Hartland, whose parish incorporates the hamlet of Stoke to the west and the village of Meddon in the south, is the most north-westerly settlement in the county of Devon, England.
Now a large village which acts as a centre for a rural neighbourhood and has minor tourist traffic, until Tudor times Hartland was an important port. It lies close to the promontory of Hartland Point, where the coast of Devon turns from facing north into the Bristol Channel to face west into the Atlantic Ocean. There is an important lighthouse on the point. The town's harbour, Hartland Quay, is to the south of the point: the quay was originally built in the late 16th century but was swept away in 1887. The high tower of the Church of Saint Nectan in Stoke remains a significant landmark for ships in the Bristol Channel.
Hartland is a convenient centre for walking parts of the South West Coast Path, and the wild coastal scenery around the point is some of the most dramatic on the path, with views across to Lundy Island. From Hartland Point, the Lundy Company operates its helicopter service to Lundy between November and March. The 319 bus service, a council-supported infrequent route operated by Stagecoach Devon, runs from Barnstaple to Hartland and return. There is also a 519 service which runs to Bude.
The town was in the past known as Harton and was an unreformed borough, finally abolished in 1886. In medieval times there was an important abbey at Hartland, where the shrine of St Nectan was venerated. Hartland Abbey and the parish church are located some two miles away in Stoke. Hartland Abbey was built in 1157 and consecrated by Bartholomew Iscanus in 1160.
Saint Nectan, sometimes styled Saint Nectan of Hartland, was a 5th-century Celtic holy man who lived in Stoke. The Anglican church is St Nectan's Church, Stoke, Hartland. The Roman Catholic Church (Our Lady and St Nectan's Church, Hartland) was opened in 1964: it was also dedicated to St Nectan. The building was closed in 2010 due to unavailability of a priest to celebrate mass there, and was demolished in 2012.
The Parish Church of St Nectan has the highest tower in Devon (128 ft), built in the late Perpendicular style. The church is large (137 ft long) and was built in the mid 14th century. Notable features include the fine Norman font, the rood screen (the finest in north Devon) and the old wagon roofs. The monuments include an elaborate medieval tomb-chest, a small brass of 1610 and a metal-inlaid lid of a churchyard tomb of 1618.

Severe UK Storm 5th February 2014 hits coast at Hartland, North Devon
This video was taken when a huge and damaging storm hit the UK on the morning of 5th Feb 2014 on the North West Devon coast, just north of Cornwall, facing out towards the Atlantic Ocean, part of historically on of the deadliest 5 mile lengths of coastline in the world for ship wrecks. The first footage is at Hartland Point, at the very north-west point of Devon where the Atlantic passes between it and Lundy Island and into the Bristol Channel, with very distinct strong current pathways seen from the cliffs on even calm days. From the reports of giant swell from the Atlantic and the way the ocean is squeezed into the Bristol Channel I had hoped to see waves lashing up and over the lighthouse but in the end it wasn't quiet as dramatic as that, looking like the waves braked earlier, however still some good video (despite it feeling very dangerous perched near the cliff edge on a narrow, slippy muddy path in gale force winds and rain filming it!). The wind distorted the mic on the video so much I take the sound off here and just let the Littermouth track 'Sea is She' play.
I then moved on down the coast to Hartland Quay, famous for it's Wreckers Inn and it's museum dedicated to ship wrecks (get the idea of a theme going on down here!?). Here the sea was very dramatic with waves crashing around the Quay. Sometimes in shots out to sea it's hard to determine the size of waves but if you look at the shots with the rocky peninsula outcrop by the Quay you'll see a fence and people walking by it, I deliberately put that clip in to give you scale. I'd estimate looking at the people that the waves were easily 6m high in places and the spray and crashing water going up between 20-30m, possibly more.
Excuse water getting on the lens in places, I can't see a way of filming close into rough seas and strong winds without spray getting on there. I was constantly cleaning. the other problem was keeping the camera still. I was stood battling gales force winds, throwing me about in places and shaking the tripod.
The music is from a local based band called Littermouth. they are based north of Bude and provided a very appropriate track called 'Sea is She', a sort of reflection of a love affair with the sea ...she had a bit of a lovers tiff today though!
More Littermouth music can be found at:

I hope the video and/or music is of interest to a few of you!
