The Tour de France
comes to Lancashire
Saturday 3 July 2027. The world's greatest bike race sweeps roughly 80 miles through the county, from the Morecambe Bay coast, over the wild fells of Bowland, and down through the Ribble Valley on its way to Liverpool.
A county-sized grandstand
The peloton crosses into Lancashire on the Morecambe Bay coast, tackles its first big climb, the Côte de Jubilee Tower above Lancaster, then threads the fells of the Forest of Bowland and the market towns of the Ribble Valley before heading south towards Merseyside.
