Devon's Coast to Coast: Wembury Bay to Lynmouth
Guidebook to walking Devon's Coast to Coast, a 117 mile route incorporating the Two Moors Way and a section of the Erme-Plym Trail. Beginning at Wembury Bay on the south coast and finishing at Lynmouth, the walk passes through the beautiful countryside of Dartmoor and Exmoor. A map booklet of the full route on OS 1:25K maps is included.

Discover the Two Moors Way, a 117-mile (188km) long-distance walk traversing the breadth of England’s southwest peninsula. Known as Devon’s Coast to Coast walk, this remarkable route combines the well-established path between Ivybridge and Lynmouth with the Erme–Plym Trail, beginning (or ending) at Wembury Bay on the dramatic South Devon coast.

Crossing two of southwest England’s most magnificent and contrasting moorlands, Dartmoor and Exmoor, the Two Moors Way offers a memorable adventure for walkers of all abilities. The comprehensive Cicerone guidebook divides the route into 11 manageable daily stages, which can be adjusted to suit different experience levels and ambitions. Along the way, walkers experience the untamed granite heights of Dartmoor, the softer wilds of Exmoor, and the tranquil landscapes of the South Hams, far from the bustle of Devon’s popular coastal resorts.

• Navigate the Two Moors Way with confidence using the separate 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey route map booklet included with the guidebook.
• Traverse celebrated landscapes, including the granite tors of Dartmoor, the enchanting woodlands of Exmoor, and the rolling pastures of Devon’s rural heart.
• While Devon attracts millions of visitors each year, most walkers on the Two Moors Way will still find peace and solitude, even during the height of summer.
• For days when the weather closes in, low-level alternative routes are suggested for some moorland stretches, ensuring safe and enjoyable passage on the Two Moors Way, whatever the conditions.
• The trek planner provides a breakdown of each stage of the Two Moors Way for more adaptable itineraries. Walkers can combine shorter stretches for longer days, such as Wembury to Ivybridge or Chagford to Morchard Road, or linger to savour the scenic surroundings.
• Each stage features a detailed route information box, with start and finish points (including grid references), distances in miles and kilometres, estimated timings (with stops), and information on public transport, accommodation, and local services in charming villages along the way, such as Wembury, Yealmpton, Ivybridge, Holne, Chagford, Witheridge, Knowstone, Tarr Steps, Simonsbath, and Lynmouth.

Plan your Two Moors Way adventure with the definitive Cicerone guidebook, and discover the wild beauty, heritage, and tranquil landscapes that make this the ultimate cross-country walking experience.
