The Two Moors Way

Discover the Two Moors Way, a 188km (117-mile) long-distance walk traversing the breadth of England’s southwest peninsula. Known as Devon’s Coast to Coast walk, this remarkable route combines the well-established path between Ivybridge and Lynmouth with the Erme–Plym Trail, beginning (or ending) at Wembury Bay on the dramatic South Devon coast. Crossing two of southwest England’s most magnificent and contrasting moorlands, Dartmoor and Exmoor, the Two Moors Way offers a memorable adventure for walkers of all abilities. The 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.
