A guidebook to walking a 188km (117 mile) Coast to Coast across Devon, combining the Two Moors Way with a section of the Erme-Plym Trail. Extending from Wembury to Lynmouth, the route links the Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks and includes sections of high moorland where navigation skills are necessary.
