The Archangel's Way, Devon

Link URL: http://devonpilgrim.org.uk/route/archangels-way

Follow in the footsteps of pilgrims past and present on The Archangel’s Way across the north of Dartmoor, from St Michael’s church atop Brentor (one of the Small Pilgrim Places) to St Michael the Archangel’s in Chagford, a bustling market town. Throughout the route there are indications of how man has connected with the unique landscape to live as an interconnected part of it, from Neolithic stone circles and ancient wells to more recent industrial past. The Archangel’s Way invites you to breathe deep, become more conscious of your spirit and spend some time to re-connect.

There are 35 miles from Brentor around the northern slopes of the moor to Chagford, broken down into 5 stages. It’s an ancient and remote landscape that connects to the people who have lived here via the buildings and artefacts they have left behind. You can investigate historic churches and other sacred sites dating back thousands of years. You will feel a long way away from everyday life, but accommodation and other facilities can be found along the route at the delightful village locations of Lydford and Belstone.

There is a choice of routes from Stages 2-5. If the weather is bad and the cloud cover such that the tors are not visible, then inexperienced walkers should consider staying on the Low routes. Moorland routes are available for more experienced walkers.
