Cycling is a great way to explore the countryside of Cornwall and Devon and bikes can be hired at convenient spots along the route. Some B&B's will even transfer your luggage for you to make the ride more enjoyable and less strenuous.
Several specially constructed cycle-only routes include the Tarka Trail at Barnstaple/Braunton in Devon and the Camel Trail at Padstow/Wadebridge in Cornwall. They all offer safe, gentle cycling with spectacular scenery.
Although bicycles aren’t allowed on footpaths, including the South West Coast Path, you can cycle on bridleways, unclassified highways and roads used as public paths. On bridleways you must give way to walkers and horse riders.
