Ermington walks

From the edge of the moors into the AONB. A lovely wander following the valley of the River Erme, in an area where the wild beauty of the moor and the mellow delights of rolling South Devon meet and merge.

Stage 3 takes us right into the Dartmoor National Park and is where the original Two Moors Way starts. Once out of Ivybridge, past the old Stowford Paper Mill and out onto the moors, you really feel that you're on a long-distance trail. Look out for the MW signs as you work your way across the tops, through Scorriton to reach Holne.

Walk across high moor above River Erme passing ancient oak woodland of Piles Copse.

A circular walk, some on roads, crossing Hangar Down.

Varied walk starting and ending in Cornwood Square. Some road but open moorland, farmland and walled footpaths.

Mixed road and moorland walk taking in beautiful ancient oak woodland and high moorland views.

Varied walk including ancient forest, a Quarry lake and open moorland. Fabulous views across to Plymouth Sound.

Circular walk from Cornwood, some on roads, skirting the Western edge of Hangar Down.

A wild and rugged coastline. A hugely rewarding coast and estuary walk with peerless views from some of the most dramatic cliffs in the area. It ends with a huge vista of South Devon, and the welcoming sight of Kingston village snuggled amongst the fields.

Amazing views over the China clay works, mica pits, and views across to Plymouth sound in one direction and moorland in the other.

A perfect taste of South Hams countryside. This inland walk bowls along on paths and green lanes, taking in hills and combes, gentle pasture, woodland and stream, with views across to the moor for good measure.

A circular walk through stunning scenery from Aveton Gifford to Bigbury following the tidal road, paths, tracks and the beach. There are excellent views of the Avon estuary and of the famous Burgh Island.

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

A walk that’s relaxing and bracing. Beaches with a lovely lazy feel, refreshing open clifftops, the timelessly delightful village of Ringmore tucked away, and enough ‘up-and-down’ to get the circulation going.

A circular walk taking in the old haunts of Saxons and smugglers. Lush coastline and glittering sea, then amble back through the green fields of South Devon.

A meander through peaceful countryside and woodlands. Downstream from Aveton Gifford, the river Avon winds through its beautiful and secluded valley to the sea. This fine walk traces its course, and you are rarely out of sight of the estuary, or its rich birdlife.
