Cross Devon on a coast to coast walking holiday through Dartmoor and Exmoor.
From £500 per person
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.
From £980 per person
Our Two Moors Way walking holiday starts earlier than some, starting at the southern shoreline in Wembury so it truly crosses Devon from coast to coast. This 114-mile trail reaches Dartmoor at Ivybridge, touring through open moorland and along the River Dart, and crosses farmland to reach the pretty woods and coastal views of Exmoor.
It's a challenging route in places, with stiff climbs to breathtaking views, but the varied terrain and brilliantly friendly places to stay the night make the Two Moors Way thoroughly worthwhile.
