Walking Hound Tor via Lustleigh on the edge of Dartmoor

Walker
↔20.40 km ↗+643 m ↘-644 m ◔7h 40 ▲Moderate
⚑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.

Walker
Dartmoor Warren House Inn to Chagford Circular
↔23.79 km ↗+551 m ↘-551 m ◔8h 20 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from North Bovey (Devon)

A circular walk in the east of Dartmoor following roads and paths, including sections of the Two Moors Way. The walk includes a mix of open moorland, footpaths and quiet roads where the farming hinterlands meet the moor. Except for the section north of the road near the Warren House Inn, all the paths are well-trodden and waymarked. There are some steep sections. Apart from the high moors, this walk is fairly sheltered from the prevailing SW winds.

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

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.

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

Association or club
↔23.63 km ↗+380 m ↘-490 m ◔7h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑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.

Walking Huntingdon Warren & Lud Gate from Scorriton

Walker
↔11.45 km ↗+422 m ↘-420 m ◔4h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑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.
