Discover Mid Devon’s vibrant calendar of events happening across the region. From festivals and markets to workshops and seasonal celebrations, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
The Two Moors Way starts from Ivybridge on the southern boundary of Dartmoor National Park to Lynmouth on the North Devon Coast in Exmoor National Park. For those wishing to complete the Coast to Coast walk, walkers start at Wembury on the South Devon coast and follow the Erme-Plym trail to Ivybridge, which adds around 15 miles to the Two Moors Walk.
Two of the 13 sections of the walk cover Mid Devon - giving walkers plenty of time to immerse in the Devon countryside:
1. Drewsteignton to Morchard Bishop and
2. Morchard Bishop to Witheridge (create these walks and link them)
The route is way-marked in each direction however, Two Moors Way Association recommend that walkers carry the relevant maps and a compass as the weather is changeable and conditions can change very quickly on the wild and open terrain.
Mid Devon has a number of accommodation providers along the route. You don't have to carry our belongings there are a number of walking firms that will transport your luggage or ask your accommodation provider as they may be able to help!
