 This guidebook to walking Coast to Coast across Devon, presents a
117 mile route incorporating the Two Moors Way and a section of the
Erme-Plym Trail. Beginning at Wembury Bay on the south coast and
finishing at Lynmouth, the 11-stage walk passes through the
beautiful Devon countryside and across two of southwest England's
magnificent moorlands, Dartmoor and Exmoor. The schedule can be
adjusted to give a one-week walk, or a more leisurely pace if
preferred, and the book includes low-level bad-weather alternative
routes for some moorland stretches. A full route description is
given for walking the route from south to north, with a summary
description for walking in the opposite direction. 1:50,000 map
extracts show the route and there is lots of practical information
on public transport, refreshments and accommodation to make
day-by-day planning simple. A map booklet showing the full route on
OS 1:25K maps is included with this guide. The county of Devon
incorporates a wonderful range of landscapes, from the rolling
fields and enclosed paths of South Devon to the wild, wide-open
spaces of Dartmoor, with its hill ponies, granite tors and Bronze
Age relics. To the north, Exmoor's sandstone moorland sweeps down
to the sea, and lofty coastal hills tower over the Bristol Channel.

 The enigmatic Neolithic standing stones at Stonehenge and Avebury
first drew footsore pilgrims to this landlocked area of Southern
England more than 4000 years ago. Today there are scores of
waymarked footpaths, bridleways and byways which connect the
rolling downland, verdant valleys, white chalk horses, ancient
settlements and vibrant historic towns of the 'great green county'
of Wiltshire. This guide contains 40 circular routes which make the
most of that network. Most walks can be completed inside two or
three hours, though some will require half a summer's day, with a
few full-day routes along the downland ridges.
