About the trail

The Two Moors Way is a walk of stunning contrasts. From the sandy beach of Wembury Bay, it combines the wild heather uplands of Dartmoor with the steep-sided river valleys and ancient oak woodlands of Exmoor. Together, these pathways through distinct landscapes form the Devon Coast to Coast, one of England’s most beautiful country-crossing routes.

Expect desolate, granite-pocked heathland in Dartmoor, and peaceful, oak-clad hillsides in Exmoor. A wealth of scattered farmsteads and sleepy villages of cob and thatched cottages dot the countryside, culminating in the lovely little harbour at Lynmouth.

We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.

Two Moors Way/Devon C2C - Dartmoor Section

From the southern coast of Devon, this self-guided walking holiday passes through the granite tors and wild moorland of Dartmoor as it makes its way to the Devonshire village of Morchard Bishop. Beautiful rock pools and dramatic shoreline cliffs characterise the beach at Wembury.

As the trail leaves the sea behind, the valleys and broad heathland of Dartmoor surround it. Ancient huts and cairns dot the landscape, overseen by Castle Drogo near Drewsteignton. Winding, smooth trails tour the moors down to Morchard Bishop, where the walk concludes.

Customer reviews from the Two Moors Way/Devon C2C - Dartmoor Section

“We had a great holiday, thanks for organising it all.”
Ms Kirk, UK
“We enjoyed it very much, for us at 78 and 75 it was a real challenge. Crossing the national park section with compass and GPS was quite exciting. We hope to walk the Exmoor section later this year and will use you again in the future.”
Mr Carter, UK
“Perfect organisation with perfect weather. Our favourite part of the route was the high Moor areas with the panoramic views, the ancient burial mounds, standing stones and settlements along with the river valleys. Only came across one bull in a field and we had to persuade him to back out of a kissing gate!”
Mr Turner, UK
“All accommodation was very good. Trail to accommodation transfers worked very well.”
Mr Bednall, UK
“The Dartmoor National Park section was our most difficult walk to date with few waymarkings, paths which clearly have little use making it difficult to pass and areas where there is no path but wonderful scenery when it wasn't raining. Overall a very enjoyable holiday.”
Mrs Pitt, UK
“Great experience, lovely weather.”
