To start this walking holiday you arrive at Ivybridge for your first night's accommodation before commencing on the Two Moors Way.
The Two Moors Way heads up onto open moorland initially following an old tramway past several Bronze Age hut circles, stone rows and cairns. You will also see evidence of tin mining activity and disused china clay workings. Then the walking trail makes its way into the quaint Dartmoor village of Scorriton.
After leaving Scorriton the Two Moors Way goes through the village of Holne then follows the River Dart for a short distance before going along Dr Blackall's Drive. You can visit Widecombe-in-the-Moor, a short detour, before a stunning walk along Hamel Down and past Grimspound, one of the best preserved Bronze Age enclosures on Dartmoor. Today's walk ends at the 13th century Bennett's Cross.
Today you are walking across Chagford Common where you will see a well preserved double stone row and hut circles. Then you drop down into the wooded and picturesque Teign Valley which you follow into Chagford. Chagford was one of the Stannery towns to which all tin found on Dartmoor had to be brought for assay and stamping in Mediaeval times. Later it became an important centre for the wool industry. At Chagford the Two Moors Way intersects with the Dartmoor Way.
Today you continue walking along the River Teign into Teign Gorge, past Castle Drogo and into Drewsteignton. As you head out of Drewsteignton you are leaving Dartmoor behind and walking through Devon farmland to Coleford.
A pleasant day's walking through rolling countryside through the villages of Down St Mary and Morchard Bishop to Black Dog. On this day's walking you cross the Devonshire Heartland Way.
Today you walk through the villages of Washford Pyne and Witheridge before the Two Moors Way goes alongside the Little Dart River for a short distance. Now you can see Exmoor in the distance and soon you reach Knowstone.
After leaving Knowstone you walk through the village of West Anstey, then the Two Moors Way enters Exmoor National Park and you reach the village of Hawkridge, where the Two Moors Way intersects with the Exe Valley Way. You cross the River Barle by Tarr Steps, an ancient clapper bridge, then follow the River Barle into Withypool.
Today's walking on the Two Moors Way is a day out on open moorland, following the River Barle to Simonsbath. Here the Two Moors Way intersects with the Tarka Trail and the Macmillan Way West.
After leaving Simonsbath the Two Moors Way visits Exe Head, the source of the River Exe. Then a glorious walk across Exmoor and down Myrtleberry Cleave to Lynmouth on the north coast of Devon. Here the Two Moors Way intersects with the South West Coast Path once again.
