Walking the Two Moors Way Section 4: Holne to Hameldown is only a short snippet of a much longer journey across Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks; however, it offers a good amount of picturesque scenery that can be enjoyed along the way. Along the walk, you will make your way across an undulating stretch of terrain within Dartmoor, travelling along the River Dart and climbing uphill across several tors, before finishing the day off with a stroll along the West Webburn River and a final climb uphill. This is a one-way trail, so make sure to pre-arrange a pick-up at the endpoint of the walk unless you want to double the overall distance.
