Other walks in the area

Huntingdon Warren & Lud Gate from Scorriton

Departure from West Buckfastleigh (Devon)

This Dartmoor route uses a section of the Two Moors Way. The route follows paths and tracks although a good sense of direction is needed in what can be an unforgiving landscape. After wet weather, streams may be in spate so care is needed crossing them.

Stage 4 Devon's Coast-to-Coast : Holne to YHA Dartmoor Bellever

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.

Mel Tor to Bench Tor and back

Departure from Widecombe in the Moor (Devon)

Includes a fording of the Dart river as long as it's not in spate!

Avon Dam and Two Moors Way

Departure from South Brent (Devon)

A circular walk on Dartmoor, taking in the Avon Dam and its reservoir and part of the Two Moors Way.

Totnes town trail

Departure from Totnes (Devon)

Discover the Totnes of times gone by. A walk through Totnes’ narrow streets to discover a town crammed full of history. This walk can be extended by following the River Dart to nearby Dartington along the riverside path.

Hound Tor via Lustleigh on the edge of Dartmoor

Departure from Manaton (Devon)

A circular walk combining moorland, streams and woods on Dartmoor, passing the dramatic Hound Tor and iconic Bowerman's Nose, with places for refreshments at the half waypoint. It is a good length with some steep hills for hearty exercise and is mainly off-road, taking advantage of footpaths and tracks. You could start at Lustleigh or Manaton if you prefer, and there are short-cuts available if you wish to shorten the walk.

NOTE: this description has been amended to correct a route error.

Stage 5 Devon's Coast-to-Coast : YHA Dartmoor Bellever to Drewsteignton

Departure from Dartmoor Forest (Devon)

This stage is the last part of the Two Moors Way in Dartmoor National Park. First, it retraces steps back to Bennet's Cross to join the trail and then avoids the high ground to the west by heading for the Teign Valley. There are a mix of landscapes and a real high point at Hunter's Tor near Castle Drogo.
