This site has yet to be done on here so I thought I would! Not an awful lot remains here but it is a rather spectacular bit of coast with lots of history, well worth a visit. Take a look at Nick Catford's site for a full description http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/h/hartland_point/index.html
Google earth view of the site, the bases of the old R8 technical block and associated buildings can be seen on the bottom right along with the access road up to site of the aerials
Bases for the Type 13 Radar gantry
WWII Air raid shelter
Inside the shelter
Former station building now used by the Coastguard
The lighthouse with Lundy island in the background
Whilst in the area I paid a quick visit to GCHQ Bude at the former site of RAF Cleave
The Married quarters have recently been emptied and are currently up for disposal. They were put up for auction in London but did not reach the reserve, only attaining £1.2 million for 16 houses (£75,000 each, and by westcountry standards thats a steal!)
