That's a different route to NCN 279. NCN 279 goes north of Dartmoor, whereas
the previously-tagged "NCN 28" went across it, via some old tramways IIRC.

We discussed this in a thread starting at
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2013-April/014649.html and
there was no evidence for the route over Dartmoor ever having existed other
than as a one-time proposal. It appears to have been a mistake in the DfT
data.

cheers
Richard
