Other walks in the area

Avon Dam and Two Moors Way

Departure from South Brent (Devon)

A circular walk on Dartmoor, taking in the Avon Dam and its reservoir and part of the Two Moors Way.

Huntingdon Warren & Lud Gate from Scorriton

Departure from West Buckfastleigh (Devon)

This Dartmoor route uses a section of the Two Moors Way. The route follows paths and tracks although a good sense of direction is needed in what can be an unforgiving landscape. After wet weather, streams may be in spate so care is needed crossing them.

Stage 3 Devon's Coast-to-Coast : Ivybridge to Holne

Departure from Ivybridge (Devon)

Stage 3 takes us right into the Dartmoor National Park and is where the original Two Moors Way starts. Once out of Ivybridge, past the old Stowford Paper Mill and out onto the moors, you really feel that you're on a long-distance trail. Look out for the MW signs as you work your way across the tops, through Scorriton to reach Holne.

Stage 4 Devon's Coast-to-Coast : Holne to YHA Dartmoor Bellever

Departure from Holne (Devon)

This stage has a sting in the tail as an option for all those YHA lovers. The Two Moors Way goes about 5 miles east of YHA Dartmoor at Bellever but that shouldn't stop you from staying there. The extra few miles at the end of this stage and the journey back to the Two Moors Way at the beginning of the next stage are in no way laborious, rather a bonus.

The River Erme : Ivybridge to Ermington

Departure from Ivybridge (Devon)

From the edge of the moors into the AONB. A lovely wander following the valley of the River Erme, in an area where the wild beauty of the moor and the mellow delights of rolling South Devon meet and merge.
