With around a month to go to the Devon Stage of the 10th anniversary Tour of Britain on Friday 20 September, Devon County Council is looking back at its involvement in previous editions of The Tour, while looking forward to welcoming Britain’s premier cycle race for a seventh time.
The Tour made its first foray into Devon in 2007 when the race crossed briefly into the county from Somerset, descending into Lynmouth and then tackling a King of the Mountains climb to Watersmeet, before returning to Somerset via Exmoor and onto the finish in Taunton.
