Two Moors Way
The Two Moors Way connects Ivybridge and Lynmouth, a distance of 103 miles. However, since 2005 the Two Moors Way has been combined with the Erme Plym Trail from Wembury to Ivybridge, a distance of 15 miles, to make a 118-mile Devon Coast to Coast Walk. Thus together, the Two Moors Way and Erme–Plym Trail connect to the South West Coastal Path at Wembury and Lynmouth.
The following information assumes the walker begins at Wembury. Those starting at Ivybridge can merely do a simple bit of milage subtraction from the table.
Although not on the Two Moors Way, we have included Lynton because of its close proximity to Lynmouth, and because it has a Youth Hostel and camping. It also has easier access to some rail stations.
Note that whereas the Two Moors Way is marked as such on OS maps, the Erme Plym Trail is only shown as ordinary footpaths.
Not only do we show you where to find accommodation and places to eat and drink (click in table below), but we show the guidebooks and maps required, and make them available to buy online.

Two Moors Way Accommodation
We have split the Two Moors Way accommodation into Hotels & Inns and Bed & Breakfast. Guest House accommodation is included with Bed & Breakfast, and while we realise many of them are as good as some hotel accommodation, in order to avoid confusion we have opted for the simpler option. Two Moors Way accommodation is scarce in places, and we recommend planning and booking ahead.

We have attempted to give as much information as possible on pubs and restaurants along the Two Moors Way, especially if pubs serve real ale and/or food. But restaurants and pubs are notoriously changeable. Please let us know if our information is out of date.
