Galsham Farm | About Us

Our Ethos

Galsham Farm is a retired dairy farm, which has been home to five generations of the family. Now the farm has retired from full-time production, our core aims as a low-input farm are to:​
  • Improve biodiversity, native flora and fauna, soil quality and waterways 
  • Restore and preserve the farm's heritage and historic buildings
  • Share the beautiful landscape through low-impact holiday escapes and access to walking routes.
​We recently became partners of Farming in Protected Landscapes, due to our location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Hartland Heritage Coastline and to support our commitment to farming alongside nature. ​

Things to do

Historic Spekes Mill Waterfall

Follow the farm's green lane down the valley to Speke's Mill Beach and ancient waterfall. 

Local Produce

In high season we stock a small honesty box of produce grown in our farm's kitchen garden, and eggs from our chickens.

You can also find local produce at:

- The Hartland Farmers Market (First Sunday morning of each month)

- Post office, Hartland

- Pop-in Village store, Hartland

Further afield (but worth it):

- Little Pig Farmshop, Kilkhampton

- Woolsery Farm shop

- Electric Bakery, Bude (Thu-Sun)

 

South West Coastal Path

Follow the farm's green lane to join the the English Heritage Coastal Footpath at Spekes' Mill Mouth. Head North towards Hartland Quay and Hartland point or South towards Welcombe mouth.

From 2024 guests are also able to enjoy the new walkway created through Galsham wood, which leads down into Speke's Valley and the ancient lanes on the top side of the farm leading towards the pond and the village of Hartland.

Hartland Quay

Our local beach. Enjoy high tide swimming in the old harbour and watch the sunset with a pint and chips in the pub. A good place to park and join the coastal path to shorten a walk.

Hartland Village

The historic village of Hartland is home to three cosy country pubs, a village store, post office and several artist's and potter's galleries. Our recommendations for the best food locally: - The Anchor Inn, Hartland - Pattards Restaurant, Hartland - The Farmer's Arms, Woolsery (Woolfardisworthy)
