Map booklet for Devon's Coast to Coast, a 117 mile route incorporating the Two Moors Way and a section of the Erme-Plym Trail. This booklet is included with the Cicerone guide to the trail, and shows the full route on OS 1:25K maps. A perfect week-long holiday, the walk passes through the beautiful countryside of Dartmoor and Exmoor.

Seasons

Late spring to early autumn. Spring brings warm days and stunning displays of wildflowers, foals on the moors and lambs in the fields; in late summer purple heather covers the hills; in autumn the wooded valleys glow with beech and oak in stunning autumn leaf.

Centres

Ivybridge, Chagford, Morchard Bishop, Witheridge, Withypool and Lynmouth. The route passed through few places of any significant size, so pre-planning accommodation and supplies is essential.

Difficulty

The route is suitable for competent walkers, and can be divided into shorter or longer stages if required. Devon is a hilly county, but there are few long and steep ascents/descents. Parts of the Mid Devon stretch can be very muddy in winter. Navigational skills will be required for both moorland stages in bad weather/poor visibility.

Must See

Dartmoor's wide open spaces, home to hill ponies, granite tors and Bronze Age relics. Exmoor's sandstone moorland and towering sea cliffs. Narrow-hedged lanes, historic farmsteads and remote churches in quiet, rural Mid Devon.

There has been an official change to the route of the Two Moors Way within the Exmoor National Park section.

In October 2024 a bridge was installed across the Barle at Great Bradley, north of Tarr Steps (early on Stage 10) and the route moved to the west side of the river for a stretch: on those rare occasions when Tarr Steps is impassable, walkers can head up the east bank of the Barle to re-join the main route, which then follows the west bank to the bridge.
