Harvey Maps says

Entire route on one map.

The Two Moors Way is a long-distance walking route between Ivybridge on the southern edge of Dartmoor and Lynmouth on the north coast of Exmoor.

It has a total length of 163km (102 miles), making it an ideal week’s walk.

The Way links Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks and passes through varied terrain: high moorland, wooded valleys, and unspoilt rural scenery with a remote and tranquil feel.

Our Verdict

Harvey Map’s Trail Map XT40 – Two Moors Way is perfect for anyone wanting a practical and durable map to cover large areas without the need for 1:25,000 level detail. The Harvey Maps use light, waterproof paper so they are much easier to use and store than traditional paper or laminated maps. I moved over to Harvey Maps a few years ago and love using them for the weight, slim profile and waterproof nature as they are much more practical to use out on the hill. The Trail Map XT40 series is perfect for long distance routes, whether thru hiking or section hiking these famous routes.

Due to the size of the map and the 1:40,000 scale I wouldn’t take this to somewhere new where I would need to do a lot of navigation or straying far from the actual route of this particular walk but for picking out general features or use as a quick reference on your way this is hard to beat. If you haven’t used Harvey Maps before they are different to OS maps but key features and symbols are easily understood and you soon get used to them.
