Lee Bay Beach – The Grampus Inn loop from Woolacombe

Good amount of off-road on this one, with some amazing views off the coast between Lee Bay and Ilfracombe (big highlight of the route). Forget the Grampus Inn, unless you're doing a much longer route and really need a break. Fairly long stretch on a cycle way, up a gentle but long hill too.

One very mean, relentless hill in the first half, just before you get off road. Starting from Mortehoe also adds a pretty full on 'warm up' hill to the route (and a speedy downhill 2km home on the road at the end!)
