Thanks and ideas of where would be a good place to camp on the coast 🙂

Not much good riding near the coast IME. Play in the water instead. Rent a kayak or 2. We tend to go to the south hams area. Nice bit of coastline.

Try Pentewan its right on the coast and there is a great (if unchallenging) off road cycle route leading from there to St Austell and other places http://www.pentewansands.com/caravan-and-camping-motorhomes/ Oh and here is a view from there after riding down said route Linky

just been to north devon (Hartland peninsula)there wasnt realy any riding that close to the coast, still had an amazing week though

As per @nick’s post the coast is best for walking, some nice coastal walks around Dartmouth and Salcombe (South Hams as per Nick’s post). Dartmouth I like very much and up to Dittisham (co-incidently where Rik Mayal’s funeral was). There are river cruises / diners etc and Steam railway. Salcombe is a bit “Surrey on tour” for me (and I lived in Surrey for 25 years)

exmoor has routes that run along the coast, try lynmouth/ porlock/ minehead area, thevertebrate publishing guidebook has some good routes

north devon coast from saunton northwards has some fun stuff but needs a bit of road linkage and searching stuff out

Many thanks think I have it sorted , well may be lol 🙂

Had a great few days but got rained out or tent started to leek:(
but thanks for the input 🙂
