Bovey Tracey is a wonder place to start walking. From Bovey Tracey you can walk to the Parke Estate or Little Bradley Pools. Walk a little farther to Chudleigh Knighton Heath or take a Wild Walk through these Devon Wildlife Trust reserves. Follow the Templer Way up to Haytor, or down to Bovey Heathfield or Teigngrace Meadows on your way to Newton Abbot or Teignmouth. The Wray Valley Trail will take you to Moretonhamsptead along the path of the old railway. The Dartmoor Way walking route takes the high road to Moretonhampstead via North Bovey and the edge of the moors, or goes south to Ashburton via Yarner Woods.

The West Devon Way is a 37-mile walking trail linking Okehampton with Plymouth via Tavistock. This important part of Devon’s recreational route network runs through superb countryside, with attractive scenery along the western edge of Dartmoor and much historical and heritage interest.
The downloadable booklet/PDF is good for navigating the route; but note that on the ground there may be some signage gaps.
https://www.exploredevon.info/activities/walk/long-walks/drakes-trail-2/
The Way explores the rugged and spectacular countryside on the western fringe of the Dartmoor National Park along the 18 miles between Okehampton, where it links with the Tarka Trail, and Tavistock. From there it continues a further 17 miles mainly in river valleys to Plymouth where it connects with the Erme-Plym Trail - see Two Moors Way. After Tavistock the River Walkham is crossed and below Yelverton the valleys of the Meavy and Plym are followed. The Way links with the Tamar Valley Discovery Trail and the Two Castles Trail to form a circuit of approximately 90 miles, dubbed the 'West Devon Triangle'.

The Two Castles Trail takes you through beautiful and peaceful countryside – from the edge of Dartmoor, past historic battlegrounds to the ancient town of Launceston. It links the medieval castles of Okehampton and Launceston.
The route passes through a variety of landscapes, including moorland in the east, woodland and river valleys and, as well as the two castles themselves, gives insights into a wealth of historic interest along the way.
The Two Castles trail covers 24 miles/38kms in total.
The route has been divided into four stages, all accessible at each end by public transport. Since car parking is limited along the route, the use of public transport is recommended, although frequency of buses vary according to the day of the week and location.
