National Cycle Network Route 27 is a 99 miles long route between Ilfracombe and Plymouth, of which 71 miles are traffic-free. The route combines the beaches and estuaries of North Devon with the lush green valleys of the Torridge, the Tavy, the Walkham and other evocative West Country rivers. The route also skirts round the western flank of Dartmoor offering superb views of Cornwall and the surrounding area. There is also many local links and spurs to explore. Largely tracing the course of former railway lines, the route takes you through tunnels and across the breathtaking viaducts and bridges bequeathed by Victorian railway engineers.

Route 274 runs as a parallel route to Route 27 from Clearbrook (south of Yelverton) to just south of Peter Tavy SX5076 : Road junction, Langsford, missing out Tavistock. The route runs 9 miles on quiet country lanes and can be used to create a circular ride with Route 27. The route is in quite a hilly area.
