Cycle Routes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fancy cycling then there is the National Cycle route 12 which goes along the Canal at Sampford Peverell, via Holcombe Rogus and into Tiverton. You can always do it in stages.<\/p>\n

For those of you that fancy something flat then the canal route is ideal, albeit you have to go up and down to get there and back.<\/p>\n

Call in at the Tourist Office in Tiverton Museum(near\u00a0the bus station) to pick up some ideas.<\/p>\n
