The Two Moors Way
Devon's Coast to Coast: Wembury Bay to Lynmouth
Tags
This guidebook to walking Coast to Coast across Devon, presents a 117 mile route incorporating the Two Moors Way and a section of the Erme-Plym Trail. Beginning at Wembury Bay on the south coast and finishing at Lynmouth, the 11-stage walk passes through the beautiful Devon countryside and across two of southwest England’s magnificent moorlands, Dartmoor and Exmoor. The schedule can be adjusted to give a one-week walk, or a more leisurely pace if preferred, and the book includes low-level bad-weather alternative routes for some moorland stretches.
A full route description is given for walking the route from south to north, with a summary description for walking in the opposite direction. 1:50,000 map extracts show the route and there is lots of practical information on public transport, refreshments and accommodation to make day-by-day planning simple.
A map booklet showing the full route on OS 1:25K maps is included with this guide.
The county of Devon incorporates a wonderful range of landscapes, from the rolling fields of South Devon and the narrow-hedged lanes of Mid Devon to the wild, wide-open spaces of Dartmoor, home to hill ponies, granite tors and Bronze Age relics. To the north, Exmoor’s sandstone moorland sweeps down to the sea, and lofty coastal hills tower over the Bristol Channel.
