2. Templer Way

This walking route from Haytor on Dartmoor to the mouth of the Teign, with historic connections.

Description
The Templer Way is a route for walkers linking Haytor on Dartmoor to the mouth of the Teign. It follows, where possible, the route of the Granite Tramway, the Stover Canal and the Teign Estuary, the historic route by which granite and clay were transported to the port of Teignmouth before being shipped around the country. The route is named after the Templer family who built the tramway and canal.

The Templer Way is 18 miles long and covers a wide range of scenery including open moorland, woodland, meadow, historical tracks, urban land and estuary foreshore.

Anyone wishing to complete the Templer Way in one day should allow up to 10 check tide tables before setting out, as it is only safe to walk the estuary section within 2 hours of low tide.
