The Tour of Britain Returns to Warwickshire!
Stage 4: Atherstone to Burton Dassett Hills Country Park

Get ready for an unforgettable day of world-class cycling in Warwickshire! The Lloyds Tour of Britain Men, the UK’s biggest professional cycling event, is returning to Shakespeare's England in 2025 – and you're invited to be part of the excitement.

On Friday 5 September, Stage Four of the race will wind its way through all five districts and boroughs of Warwickshire, starting in Atherstone and finishing with a spectacular hilltop finale at Burton Dassett Hills Country Park.

Don’t Miss This Incredible Sporting Spectacle!
