Guidebook to walking Devon's Coast to Coast, a
188km (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 walk passes through the beautiful countryside of Dartmoor and
Exmoor. A map booklet of the full route on OS 1:25K maps is included.
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. Along the way,
walkers experience the untamed granite heights of Dartmoor, the softer
wilds of Exmoor, and the tranquil landscapes of the South Hams, far from
the bustle of Devon’s popular coastal resorts.

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 description in the guidebook
- An abbreviated route description is included for those looking to walk the route in the opposite direction: north to south

stage features a detailed route information box with start and finish
points, distances in kilometres and miles, ascent data and estimated
timings (with stops)

information on public transport, public toilets, accommodation and
refreshments available on (or near) the route
- For days when the
weather closes in, low-level alternative routes are suggested for some
moorland stretches, ensuring safe and enjoyable passage on the Two Moors
Way, whatever the conditions
