Take in the history and beauty on your family cycling trek through England

Taking the biking trails through Devon will take you crisscrossing across the entire county. You'll stop at historic sites, such as the town of Barbican, the site where the Mayflower embarked on its journey to America in 1620, and Dartmoor National Park, which is home to numerous historical sites and monuments including the ancient villages of Grimspond and Chagford.

There are many chances for your family to get moving in the water during your trip.

As you ride past vineyards on your way to the river side town of Dartmouth, then to East Portsmouth, Salcombe, and Kingsbridge you'll find waterways in almost every town in your Devon travels. Next, take a break at Hope Cove along the sea. Here you can relax in the village's hidden cove or try your hand at a bit of surfing.

One of the highlights of the trip is arriving in Devon's largest city, Plymouth. This beautiful city, set between two rivers, dates back to the Bronze Age. Take in the splendid views of the city here, including the breathtaking harbor. You'll also get some great eats and drinks here - and maybe even some souvenirs.
