When Mary Russell is summoned by her partner and husband Sherlock Holmes to the scene of his most celebrated case, that of the Hound of the Baskervilles, there is more to the matter than a phantom hound.

The Two Moors Way

Author: James Roberts
Publisher: Cicerone Press Limited
ISBN: 9781852841591
Category : Two Moors Way (England)
Languages : en
Pages : 96

Book Description
The Two Moors Way, created in the mid 1970s, runs for approximately 100 miles from Ivybridge on the southern edge of Dartmoor to the spectacular north Devon coastline at Lynmouth. James Roberts describes a walk full of contrasts - from remote walking across wild moorland to the gentle hill country of mid-Devon with pastures, copses and hedges. As well as covering the route in detail, the book includes information about places of interest both on and off the Way, together with details on accommodation and other useful addresses. Most walkers will probably finish the Two Moors Way in five days, if not distracted en route. However there is a wealth of distraction along (and just off) the way, and the author has laid out the book as six days' walking. As well as providing a worthy challenge for the long-distance walker, the Two Moors Way is an enriching experience, with its variety of fine landscapes, delightful villages and great wealth of history and prehistory encountered along the route.
