  • The Two Moors Way – Itinerary
    The Two Moors Way – Itinerary Day 1 Travel down to Devon. Arrive at campsite – The River Dart Country Park, Ashburton, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ13 7NP. The campsite has a number of exciting facilities that we may be able to enjoy. There is a licensed bar and restaurant on site. www.riverdart.co.uk The rest of the day is at leisure Day 2 Wembury to Ivybridge South Devon provides a gentle introduction to the Coast to Coast Walk. On leaving the coast the walker can enjoy a pleasant exploration of the rolling fields and wooded valleys of the South Hams. The section from Wembury to Ivybridge follows easy and well-signed footpaths and bridlepaths. The way crosses the Yealm and later the Erme, before turning north through beautiful riverside meadows as the path passes close to Ermington, famed for its crooked church spire. Here the first glimpse of the southern slopes of Dartmoor – Western Beacon, rising high above the town of Ivybridge – will give walkers an idea of what lies in store. Approx. 14 miles Day 3 Ivybridge to Scorriton The first section of the official Two Moors Way, and the most testing on the whole route. The old Redlake Railway is followed for 6 miles north, through barren and lonely moorland. The route then traverses open country, crossing the River Avon via a 19th- century clapper bridge and passing Huntingdon Warren, where rabbits were farmed from the mid 13th century to the 1950s. The pretty village of Holne comes as welcome relief! Approx. 12 miles Day 4 Scorriton to Widdecombe A picturesque part of the route, dropping through woodland to cross the Dart at New Bridge (ice cream van at holiday times!).

  • Moor Trees News Creating Native Woodland Autumn 2015
    Moor Trees News Creating native woodland autumn 2015 Director Graham Burton brings us up to date At last DEFRA has sorted out all the new rules for wood- land management and creation grants! The old scheme has now been replaced by a new Countryside Stewardship system. As I reported earlier, the element of na- tive woodland planting under the purview of the Forestry Com- mission applies only to new schemes over 3 hectares in extent. The exception is where there are water quality and flooding issues, mapped by the Forestry Commission on its Land Infor- mation System. This means that we can discover early in the process which sites may qualify, as long as they are over 1.0 hectare. To put it into context, Moor Trees has five queries for possible planting sites next year and four qualify under In 15 years we’ve the water ‘rules’. planted over 60,00 trees or 66 So what will happen to other small schemes, under 3 ha? There does not seem to hectares of native be any option under Stewardship for these sites but if they find it hard to source woodland! enough larger schemes…… Moor Trees has now been planting native trees for 15 years and the Trustees have taken a fresh look at our vision and work. See page 2 for more detail, but suffice to say that as of today our volunteers have planted over 60,000 trees and created 66 hectares of native character woodland – in old money that is 164 acres or 110 football pitches or 40 Test match cricket fields! Well done to everyone who has been a part of this and let’s look forward to much more in the future.
