Running for just over 100 miles/160km between Ivybridge in the south and Lynmouth in the north, this famous path links the two National Parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor.
The route covers a wonderful diversity of scenery including a wild and remote stretch of Dartmoor and some of the most beautiful sections of the valley of the River Dart. After some delightfully unspoilt parts of central Devon, the trail reaches Exmoor and its deep wooded valleys, with magnificent views from the high moorland.
Walking is easy with just one or two challenging stretches and the route is comprehensively waymarked, apart from the open moorland sections which require navigational skills.
Many towns and villages along the route are served by buses, including Ivybridge, Bennett’s Cross, Chagford, Drewsteignton, Morchard Road, Morchard Bishop, Witheridge and Lynmouth. Morchard Road is on the Tarka Railway Line between Exeter and Barnstaple. You can combine a shorter walk with bus journey to bring you back to your starting point.

The Two Moors Way was opened in 1976, since 2005 it has been combined with another long distance route, the Erme-Plym Trail which links Ivybridge with the South Devon coast, thus creating Devon’s Coast to Coast walk.
