Here are some of the spots you can visit on the day:

The Tumble

The cycling race finishes here but does pass through on their way and it’s one of the UK’s most iconic climbs.

Usk

The race passes through Usk earlier in the stage, therefore it will be quieter than the finish line.

Chepstow

Despite not going through Chepstow directly it goes past the entrance to Chepstow Racecourse at Piercefield on the A466/ B4293 junction.

Monmouth

Monmouth is another spot where you can watch, Monnow bridge is an iconic location in the heart of Monmouth. The race will pass through at around 12.55pm.

There’s free parking available at Rockfield Road car park. Monmouth is a great town for shops and cafes so you could grab a bite to eat or browse around some shops before or after the race.

Abergavenny

There are plenty of cafes around where you can visit before or after they pass through and head towards The Tumble.

It’s a good idea if would like the atmosphere without the steep climb hike.

There will be some road closures at the time, you can find out more information at www.britishcycling.org.uk/tobroadclosures
