The
Two Moors Way links the National Parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Starting
at Ivybridge on the southern edge of Dartmoor and finishing at Lynmouth
on Exmoor's North Devon coast it also crosses some beautiful
mid-Devon countryside.
The Two
Moors Way is a walk of stunning contrasts. The southern part of
the trail over the wild heather uplands of Dartmoor passes jagged
granite tors, crosses and clapper bridges erected by monks in medieval
times and a fantastic number of prehistoric remains, including cairns,
kists, menhirs, barrows, stone rows and circles and a remarkable
Bronze Age village. As well as crossing the high moors the trail
meanders through the wooded valleys of the moorland fringes and
visits many attractive villages. Between the moors lies the rich
farmland of mid-Devon with its sleepy villages of cob and thatch
cottages and square towered churches. To the north the route crosses
Exmoor through a landscape of steep-sided river valleys, rounded
grassy hills and ancient oak woodlands. |
