Description

Yorkshire welcomes The Tour of Britain Cycle Race for the fifth consecutive year. The Yorkshire leg, is to be held on the 11th September and has a brand new route that takes the race within close proximity to 3 English Rose Hotels.

The race has become a popular fixture in the region’s sporting calendar, bringing visitors to the region and providing an exciting day out for young and old.

Sixteen teams of six cyclists – including some of the world’s top pro-cyclists – will race through the streets of Scarborough, Yorkshire, along a route which will see them cycle into the town on the A165 from Filey before dropping down on to Foreshore Road prior to the sprint section of the leg along Marine Drive – which runs along Scarborough’s North Bay, right in front of The Clifton Hotel.

The finale of this stage is narrow, twisty and punctuated by short steep climbs and descents in the surroundings of nearby Dalby Forest, promising to be one of the most exciting sections of the race.

The Tour is expected to attract thousands of visitors and cycling enthusiasts to the town, so if you are looking for accommodation in Scarborough during the race, be sure to book soon with hotels in Scarborough expected to fill up quickly. Visit The Clifton Hotel website today for details of our latest rates for bed and breakfast and dinner, bed and breakfast.

The Yorkshire leg also passes close by two other English Rose Hotels The Royal Hotel in Scarborough and Hackness Grange Country House Hotel.

The Tour of Britain cycle race will be being shown daily on ITV4.
