Templer Way

Haytor Vale, Bovey Tracey, Devon

Get directions

The Templer Way traces the route by which Dartmoor granite once travelled to the coast. It begins high on Haytor Down beside the remarkable Haytor Granite Tramway, whose rails were cut from granite itself, then follows the line of the Stover Canal and the Teign estuary down to the sea at Teignmouth. It is a walk through industrial heritage as much as landscape.

These routes are provided in good faith as a guide only. Dartmoor is open, largely unwaymarked country where weather and visibility change quickly. Parts of the moor lie within the military firing ranges (Okehampton, Merrivale and Willsworthy), where live firing happens on published dates, so always check the firing times before you set out. Our GPX files show the line of the route but may not include turn-by-turn waypoints, so carry the relevant OS map and a compass and know how to use them. You are responsible for your own safety and for checking access, tides and river crossings on the day. Our Dartmoor accepts no liability for loss, injury or inconvenience arising from use of these routes. Dartmoor firing times · Safety advice · Dartmoor Rescue
