This guidebook presents the Dartmoor Way, a 175km (109 mile) walk
around Dartmoor National Park in Devon. Walked in 10 day-long
stages between 12.75 and 20.5km (8 and 12.75 miles) in length, this
waymarked route skirts the edge of England's largest granite
moorland, passing through towns including Ivybridge, Ashburton,
Okehampton and Tavistock. Also included is the 2-day High Moor
Link, which crosses the moor's higher ground. With 1:50,000 scale
OS maps for each stage, the book includes notes on nature, history
and local landmarks such as Haytor Rocks, the Teign gorge and
Dewerstone crags. Taking in ancient paths, tracks and quiet lanes,
the route is mostly at low level and is suitable for most walkers,
although some stages involve short, steep climbs and descents.
Accommodation, parking and public transport are covered, allowing
walkers to choose whether to tackle the route in one go or as
individual day walks. Each stage includes low-level detours in case
of bad weather, as well as details of walking the route in reverse,
giving readers flexibility over direction of travel. Further
options include creating shorter loops joined by the High Moor
Link, or walking the entire circular route in 7 days.

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.

coast to coast route between Wembury Bay and Lynmouth, including a
section of the Erme-Plym Trail. NOTE: An accompanying Cicerone
guidebook - The Two Moors Way - describes the route south to north,

Exmoor consists of wide expanses of heather and rich woodland all
of which are greatly enhanced by its varied wildlife. It has the
West Country's largest population of red deer, which frequent its
woodland and moors and yet it remains less visited and less popular
than the two other great uplands of south-west England - Dartmoor
and Bodmin Moor. While it might not be as accessible or as
dramatic, Exmoor is an area that once explored invariably inspires
devotion and enthusiasm. The walks in this guide introduce the
visitor to the wide variety of Exmoor's features, from the Valley
of Rocks with its jagged sandstone tors to richly-wooded valleys.
This collection of walks complements Pathfinder South Devon &
Dartmoor, an area acclaimed as the last great wilderness in
Britain. The haunting beauty of the central moorland studded with
old tin mines and one of Britain's highest concentrations of
historic remains is explored on several routes through the national
park, including those passing Vixen Tor, one of the tallest and
most distinctive granite tors on Dartmoor, Princetown and
Buckfastleigh Moor. However, there are also explorations of the
hills, river valleys and picturesque villages of the surrounding
countryside the South Hams and south-east Devon, and especially the
spectacular coastline. Contents 1. Cockington Valley 2. Bench Tor

Buckfastleigh Moor
Exmoor National Park comprises 267 square miles, of which about
two-thirds lie in west Somerset and the remaining third in north
Devon. Its uniquely beautiful combination of moor and coast,
woodland and valleys, hills and forest, and wildness and
gentleness, makes it ideal for exploring on foot. The National
Park's northern boundary is the Bristol Channel coast, stretching
in a dramatic series of cliffs interrupted only by the Vale of
Porlock, from North Hill above Minehead in the east to Little
Hangman above Combe Martin in the west. This collection of walks
ranges from the bare expanses of the Chains, the last real
wilderness on Exmoor, to a picturesque riverside route along the
Exe, from Badgworthy Water to a coastal walk taking in the
spectacular Valley of Rocks.
