Here are quite a number of highly-detailed route guides for stunning, traffic-free cycle routes in Cornwall. Though Devon is a county renowned for its hills, many of these routes are surprisingly flat.
The list below are all the traffic-free cycling routes I published highly-detailed route guides for. My route guides rate a route for things like the surface, availability of refreshment stops, safety (especially for younger children) and more, so from the outset you have a clear idea what to expect.
More than that, my route guides give you a weather forecast, and interactive map (from where you can download a GPX of the route) and much more!
Even better, I have lots of other, similar route guides available for other counties, too, so you have no excuse not to go exploring!
