Peter Randall-Page, Dartmoor and Exmoor
Explore the north eastern section of Dartmoor National Park and you'll come across plenty of sculptures by Peter Randall-Page. Some are situated on the route of the Two Moors Way. IIMW is the largest and most famous of these sculptures.
The IIMW Sculpture consists of a boulder cut in half. Each cut face is a mirror image of the other and they face one another across Mid Devon. The two halves of the sculpture are situated on the borders of Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks and celebrate this long distance path.
II = Two, M = Moors and W = Way, hence Two Moors Way.
We refer to them as the Exmoor IIMW Sculpture and the Dartmoor IIMW Sculpture.
The location of Exmoor IIMW Sculpture
The sculpture sits on the border of Exmoor National Park near Badlake Moor Cross between West Anstey and Hawkridge and south of the famous Tarr Steps.
We've positioned the Exmoor IIMW Sculpture on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location.
The IIMW Sculpture
The section describing the IIMW Sculpture on Peter Randall-Page's website reads:
'This two part sculpture celebrates the vision of Joe Turner, who created the Two Moors Way for all to enjoy. It was formed by cutting a boulder in half and each cut face is a mirror image of the other. One half is sited at West Anstey as the Two Moors Way enters the Exmoor National Park from the south. The other is sited 30 miles away to the south, as the Two Moor's Way leaves the Dartmoor National Park, 2 miles to the north of Drewsteignton. Commissioned by Devon County Council.'
Dartmoor IIMW Sculpture
The Dartmoor IIMW Sculpture is located by the northern border of Dartmoor National Park.
To visit, follow the Two Moors Way as marked on Ordnance Survey maps from Chagford or Castle Drogo (National Trust) or the village Drewsteignton. The Dartmoor IIMW Sculpture is between Veet Mill Farm and Winscombe in the shallow V-shaped wood where two local streams meet.
A note on the Two Moors Way
The Two Moors Way is a long distance path that runs from Lynmouth on the Exmoor coast to Ivybridge on the southern border of Dartmoor National Park.
The Erme-Plym Trail leads to the South Devon coast at Wembury forming the Coast to Coast Path.
