Description
Two national parks across Devon.
From Wembury on the south coast, the journey heads north through Dartmoor, Mid Devon’s farmland, and across Exmoor to Lynmouth. The landscape alternates between open moors, valleys, and small villages. The guide helps connect these sections into a continuous trek with a clear start and finish.
188 kilometres of route descriptions and map booklet.
The book covers both the Two Moors Way and the linked section of the Erme–Plym Trail, completing the coast-to-coast walk. Stage descriptions and practical information provide a basis for planning daily distances. The separate map booklet shows the entire route on 1:25,000 OS maps and is designed for use on the trail.
Plan accommodation and supplies.
The route passes through relatively few large settlements, so daily stages and accommodation should be planned together. Ivybridge, Drewsteignton, Morchard Bishop, Withypool, and Simonsbath are among the locations along the way. The book provides guidance on practical choices and background information to enhance the experience of the landscapes and local communities.
Who is this book for?
The guide is suitable for experienced hikers seeking a moderately demanding long-distance walk. Shorter stages allow for more relaxed days, while a tighter schedule increases the physical challenge. Open moorland requires navigation skills, and certain sections can be muddy after rain. Spring, late summer, and autumn each offer distinct landscape experiences along the route.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew from a community of climbers and mountain enthusiasts wishing to share detailed knowledge of their routes—a tradition that still defines these compact books for hiking, trekking, and outdoor adventures.
