In Tenby

  • Getting Around

    Tenby is compact and walkable, and the closed roads mean driving is difficult; spectators should walk to the course.

  • Spectator Spots

    The finish line and town center offer good views; the harbor and town walls also overlook parts of the route.

  • Recovering Afterwards

    Take a gentle walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path or relax on one of Tenby's beaches to ease sore legs.
