      Devon & Cornwall Guided Cycling Itinerary

      Day 1Woolacombe , Croyde and The Tarka Trail

      Arriving into Tiverton Parkway for 11.00am, we will meet you at the station and set off for a short transfer to Ilfracombe for a spot of lunch before donning our cycling gear to bike around North Devon’s famous surf beaches, including Woolacombe and Croyde. Once our lungs are filled with fresh, coastal air, we track into Barnstaple, home to the start of the Tarka cycling trail, for an early evening drink and rest before we start our crossing of inland Devon via the Tarka Trail.

      Mileage: 10-20 miles

      Day 2Bideford, Taw and Torridge Estuaries and Great Torrington

      Joining the Tarka Trail, named after Henry Williamson’s famous 1927 novel, Tarka the Otter, we follow this path along the stunning Taw and Torridge estuaries via Bideford and Great Torrington, before stopping at a quirky railway station turned café stop for lunch. We rejoin the Tarka Trail in the afternoon, tracing along converted railway lines, to cycle onto Devon’ smallest but no doubt liveliest towns, Hatherleigh, to stay at The George Inn for a well-deserved pint, fresh local food and welcomed rest.

      Mileage: 20-31 miles

      Day 3Okehampton, Dartmoor, Scorhill Stone Circle

      Starting north of Okehampton, we take a slight detour up to Dartmoor, to visit Devon’s finest stone circle at Gidleigh Common. The views and atmosphere on Dartmoor are magical and after lunch in the wonderful Chagford we head onto the high moors before heading downhill all the way into the wonderful town of Tavistock where we stay the night – there will be plenty of opportunities to trial Devon’s famous beverages and cream tea, but remember to put the cream on the scone before the jam – it’s how the Queen does it!   

      Mileage: 20-38 miles

      Day 4Drakes Trail, Plymouth, Tinside and Wadebridge

      Our final day of exploring Devon will be biking along the Drakes trail, all the way, mostly downhill into Plymouth where we visit the place where the Founding Fathers left for America in 1620. We arrive into Tinside, where we will have the opportunity for a dip in the iconic waterside lido or in the south coast Devon sea before we transfer into Cornwall into the lovely estuary side town of Wadebridge where we stay for the next two nights.

      Mileage: 23-33 miles

      Day 5Padstow and the Camel Trail, Rick Stein, Rock and Port Isaac

      We arrive at Bodmin where we join the off-road traffic free Camel Trail, a 25 mile downhill ride into which hugs the Camel estuary finishing in the foody heaven and quaint town of Padstow for lunch at the famous Rick Stein’s fish and chip shop. After catching the ferry over the Camel to Rock we visit the archetypal Cornish village of Port Isaac before heading to the next door bay at Port Gaverne and our accommodation for the night.

      Mileage: 15-30 miles

      Day 6Farewells and Ongoing Travel

      After a relaxed breakfast in your hotel which overlooks the sea, cliffs and little cove that is Port Gaverne, we transport guests to Bodmin Parkway station for pre-booked travel all the way to London (4.5 hours).
