    “We can’t wait to open our temporary campsite for what’s going to be an amazing weekend. We’re so excited to be so close to the Tour site and can’t wait to welcome as many cycle fans, families and animals to camp with us and enjoy the spectacle,” said Cathryn Williams, the centre manager.

    “By staying here you’ll be helping us provide free riding therapy to children with additional needs. So we really hope campers will choose us to help support our work and to enjoy this brilliant weekend of cycling at the same time.”

    The site will offer breakfasts and snacks as well as a barbecue and licensed bar at night. 2 nights camping for 4 people with 1 one car costs £100.
