The coastline of Devon is often passed over by photographers in favour of its more illustrious neighbour Cornwall.  While Cornwall is undoubtedly spectacular, the Devon coast is brimming with an equally rugged yet less familiar splendour.  Hartland is a perfect example; located on the North Devon coast Hartland Point is Devon’s equivalent to Land’s End.  Known by the Romans as ‘the promontory of Hercules’ this is where the Atlantic and the Bristol Channel converge.  The coastline has been beaten and contorted beyond belief, leaving spectacular rock formations to photograph at every opportunity, such as here at Hartland Quay.
