Moretonhampstead is a substantial Dartmoor gateway town with the Two Moors Way passing directly through on its 117-mile route across the full width of Devon. Hound Tor and Manaton give classic granite tor walking, while Lustleigh Cleave offers one of the most beautiful wooded river gorges on the moor.

A practical and historic Dartmoor town with the Two Moors Way running through, Moretonhampstead makes a useful eastern base for exploring the granite tors and ancient settlements of north-east Dartmoor.
