The Tour of Britain

On the 9th September 2008 the Tour of Britain international cycle race will, once again, be returning to Exmoor.

Last year 70,000 turned out on a gloriously sunny day to watch the 112 riders from around the world racing from sea level to cliff top in minutes, all chasing that coveted yellow jersey.

The race this year will start in Chard taking in South Molton, North Molton, Sandyway and Withypool before moving to the more familiar ground of Exford and Wheddon Cross.

From there the riders head North through Timberscombe, Dunster and then East to the finishing line at Burnham on Sea.

Active Exmoor secured the race for Exmoor back in 2006 with help from the ENPA's Sustainable Development Fund provided by DEFRA and SWERDA, and is working with the Somerset County Council to bring you a spectacular day out once again, so don't miss it!
