Short wildlife near Quethiock

Devon's Coast-to-Coast : Plymouth to Wembury and on to Lynmouth
Departure from Plymouth
The Two Moors Way was officially opened on 29 May 1976. In 2005 the Two Moors Way was linked with the Erme–Plym Trail from Ivybridge to Wembury on the south Devon coast to create a cross-county coast-to-coast route of over 115 miles.
Stage 1 Devon's Coast-to-Coast : Plymouth Station to Wembury
Departure from Plymouth
This stage is really an add-on to the official route. There is an option to use the Erme-Plym Trail that is, in itself, an add-on to the original Two Moors Way. This will take you straight to Ivybridge through Brixton and Yealmpton. However, this route takes you along the coast to Wembury. The ferry option reduces the road walking considerably.
