From tor to moor, and cliff to coastline, with a tapestry of fields between, few counties in Britain come close to matching the scenic variety of Devon. This book contains 45 carefully researched walks. Each illustrates the range of landscapes and walking conditions in the county. All but one of the routes are round trips, and include 16 coastal, 15 countryside and 14 Dartmoor walks. Walks range in length from 1.5 to 14 miles. From a gentle stroll to a demanding tramp, this book will suit both new and more experienced walkers. A particular feature is the "Ridge and River" routes on Dartmoor which guide the walker along dominant landscape features, introducing him or her to the wild uplands while minimizing the amount of featureless moor that has to be crossed. Each route details how to get to the start, refreshments on the way, where to park, and in some instances bus routes as well as the landscape of Devon.
