The Two Moors Way : Devon's Coast to Coast: Wembury Bay to Lynmouth

This remarkable route combines the well-established path between Ivybridge and Lynmouth with the Erme–Plym Trail, beginning at Wembury Bay on the dramatic South Devon coast. Crossing two of southwest England's most magnificent moorlands—Dartmoor and Exmoor—the Two Moors Way offers a memorable adventure for walkers of all abilities, taking you far from the bustle of Devon's popular coastal resorts through untamed granite heights, softer wilds, and tranquil landscapes. This comprehensive Cicerone guidebook divides the route into 11 manageable daily stages (between 11 and 29km or 7–18 miles), which can be adjusted to suit different experience levels and ambitions. Each stage features detailed route information boxes with start and finish points, distances, ascent data, and estimated timings. You'll also find invaluable information on public transport, accommodation, refreshments, and public facilities available on or near the route. For challenging moorland stretches, low-level alternative routes are suggested for when weather closes in, ensuring safe and enjoyable passage whatever the conditions. Navigate the Two Moors Way with confidence using the separate 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey route map booklet included with the guidebook, plus 1:50,000 OS maps and step-by-step descriptions. An abbreviated route description is included for those walking north to south. A facilities planner and route summary table help you create adaptable itineraries—combine shorter stretches for longer days or linger to savour the scenic surroundings.
