Other walks in the area

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.

Haldon Moor

Departure from Bishopsteignton (Devon)

Superb views over the Teign Estuary from the hills above the village, and remnants of a historic Bishop’s Palace.

Luton - Bishopsteignton

Departure from Bishopsteignton (Devon)

Devon heathland, farmland and woodland, with a pretty village midway.

Clifford Bridge to Fingle Bridge and Butterdon Down

Departure from Moretonhampstead (Devon)

A wonderful circular walk from Clifford Bridge to Fingle Bridge on a gentle path along the River Teign before heading steeply onto Butterdon Down and descending back to Clifford Bridge. Beautiful woodland views.

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!

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.
