This spectacular journey takes you from the beaches and estuaries in north Devon to the stunning south coast of Devon at Plymouth and onto the Cornish coast too.
Ride beside the sea, through lush green valleys, dip into Dartmoor National Park and enjoy gorgeous scenery and grand views. Pedal along former railway lines, through tunnels and across breathtaking viaducts and bridges. Enroute you will discover magical villages and cream teas you can't resist. Essentially rural but peppered with characterful towns, we have designed the tour with a leisurely tempo, balancing mileages and slopes to ensure as gentle a cycle each day as possible - that's the way we like to do things. And of course, every night you'll relax in our hand picked inns and hotels with a castle stay and gorgeous boutique hotels with spas and award winning restaurants included in our luxury tour.
Much of this route is traffic free as it slices through Devon from the north to the south. It includes the bike paths of the Tarka Trail, the Granite Way and the Plym Valley.
4 days of cycling and 2 days of optional cycling 15 -26 miles (24 - 42 km) per day on the classic tour. 5 days of cycling and one day of optional cycling 18-30 miles (29-48km) per day on the luxury trip. A few slopes most days and one or two steep hills some days. 70% traffic free.
