Yup, expecting it to be busy. I think between 80-100km will do me per day. Though given how undulating the roads will be, maybe closer to 80km.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been to Bude before but not to the coast north of it, so could make a nice route from Bideford down the coast or something. Definitely tempted by doing some of the Tarka Trail too - forgotten it existed - will think of how to link it all together. Will probably bivvy rather than tent, so should be easier to find some discreet spots.

Preferred mileage? As sorethroat says, the Devon and Cornwall coasts will be busy in July. However, the more isolated sections of coast potentially less so.
Consider jumping off at Tiverton Parkway and taking in Exmoor via Dulverton, some Tarka Trail, Clovelly and Hartland. Some likely camping spots around there, Welcombe Mouth Bay is also another potential spot. ( The Old Smithy Inn nearby was pretty nice IIRC last time I was in that area.) Then you've got Bude, Widemouth Bay, Crackington Haven,Boscastle, Tintagel(YHA here, but also potential around the church) and then Rock for a ferry to Padstow.
