off to devon with Mrs Millhouse and the Dog next week and she keeps asking me if i'm taking the bike. to which i'm currently answering "pass"

is there anything worthwhile hunting out from the Bideford/Westward Ho! area?

I've not looked in to any detail but needs to be pretty local to there as we're going in my van so i can't leave her sans-wheels so to speak...

Not much decent offroad locally but the Tarka Trail is jolly nice for a pootle, and you can link up a few more challenging routes with it with a bit of plotting.

Bear in mind you're only just over an hour from Dartmoor though if you fancied a day trip over this way.
