Devon Coast to Coast - Wembury to Lynmouth
The Devon Coast to Coast Walk commences in Wembury in South Devon and following first the Erme Plym Trail and then the Two Moors Way finishes at Lynmouth on the North Devon coast.
After leaving Wembury and travelling through the over the coastal plain to Ivybridge, the route takes you to, arguably, the two best known moors in the UK. Separated by rich green farm land, dotted with small villages and hamlets, thatched cottages, honeysuckle festooned hedgerows and carpets of wild flowers.
Dartmoor and Exmoor offer great contrasts, from high granite tors amid heather and bracken covered moorland, to deep tree covered valleys with meandering, babbling streams.
Discover settlements from the Iron and Bronze ages and evidence of earlier industries, mining for tin and iron. Both moors are home to their own, unique rare breeds of wild ponies.
When to Walk
We advise walking the Devon Coast to Coast between March and November as the route across Dartmoor may be hazardous in bad weather with poor visibility.
