The Devon Coast to Coast is a composite route made up of the Two Moors Way from Ivybridge to Lynmouth and the Erme-Plym Trail, also marked on OS mapping, from the coast at Wembury to Ivybridge. This combined route was relaunched in 2016.
From Wembury Bay on Devon’s south coast the Erme-Plym Trail provides a gentle introduction before the more demanding section across Dartmoor where the National Park is entered at Ivybridge. Exposed moorland leads to the highest point on this section over Hamel Down (532m). A lower-level alternative is offered to avoid the moorland section.
A pastoral section follows to Teigncombe from where the River Teign is followed to Castle Drogo. Exmoor National Park is reached at Tarr Steps and the River Barle is followed to Simonsbath. Another moorland section leads to Exe Head and along the Cheriton Ridge before the final descent to the sea at Lynmouth.
Although termed ‘Devon’s Coast to Coast’ part of the Exmoor section is in Somerset.
The Cicerone guidebook describes the complete route from south to north: Wembury to Lynmouth.
