Association or club
↔24.72 km ↗+617 m ↘-482 m ◔8h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Holne (Devon)

This stage has a sting in the tail as an option for all those YHA lovers. The Two Moors Way goes about 5 miles east of YHA Dartmoor at Bellever but that shouldn't stop you from staying there. The extra few miles at the end of this stage and the journey back to the Two Moors Way at the beginning of the next stage are in no way laborious, rather a bonus.
