The Tour de France is coming to Cumbria (hooray!), bringing one of the world’s biggest sporting events to the beautiful landscapes of the Lake District.
In 2027, Stage 4 of the race will travel through Cumbria as the men’s Tour de France visits the North of England for the first time, creating an unforgettable moment for cycling fans and local communities.
Thousands of visitors are expected to come and experience the race, so if you’re looking for Tour de France accommodation in Cumbria, why not turn your visit into a proper countryside escape?
At The Pheasant Lodge, we love showing guests there is so much to discover here in our corner of the Lakes. From cycling routes and lakeside views to historic villages, coastal walks and incredible food, the South Lakes is the perfect place to slow down and explore.
Tour de France Comes to Cumbria
The arrival of the Tour de France will see some of the world’s best cyclists travel through Cumbria, bringing visitors together to enjoy the race, atmosphere and celebrations surrounding this incredible sporting event.
With beautiful scenery, challenging climbs and quiet country roads, it’s easy to see why the Lake District has been chosen as part of the route.
However, you don’t have to be a serious cyclist to enjoy it. It’s also the perfect opportunity to discover everything else the Lake District has to offer.
Tour de France Accommodation in Cumbria: Why Stay in the South Lakes?
Choosing where to stay for the Tour de France in Cumbria is all about finding the right base.
With the route passing through the South Lakes, The Pheasant Lodge offers a peaceful countryside stay within easy reach of the action, while also giving you the chance to turn the event into a memorable Lake District holiday.
While many visitors head straight for the busiest Lake District towns, the South Lakes offers something a little different.
The Pheasant Lodge is located in the peaceful village of Field Broughton, just a few minutes from Cartmel. Here, you can enjoy countryside views and a slower pace while still being close to some of Cumbria’s best-loved places.
Spend your days watching the world’s best cyclists, exploring the lakes, discovering pretty villages or heading towards the coast. Then return home to a quiet countryside home away from the crowds.
A Great Base for Cycling Holidays in the Lake District
The Tour de France may be bringing more attention to Cumbria, but cycling has always been one of the best ways to explore the area.
The South Lakes is surrounded by scenic routes, quiet lanes and beautiful places to stop along the way.
After a day outdoors, The Pheasant Lodge has everything you need to relax. There’s private parking, a spacious boot room with room for at least three bikes, plus a washing machine and electric drying rack ready for the next adventure.
For larger groups or extra cycling equipment, guests can also use our secure garage storage.
And if you prefer a slower pace? That’s fine too. You can simply enjoy the views, villages and amazing places to eat nearby.
More Than Cycling: Explore Cartmel, Coast and Countryside
One of the best things about staying in the South Lakes is how much variety you have on your doorstep.
Cartmel is just a short drive away and is one of Cumbria’s most charming villages. It’s famous for its food scene, independent shops, racecourse and, of course, sticky toffee pudding.
You can discover the wider Lake District, enjoy walks with incredible views or visit Cumbria’s beautiful coastline.
From a morning by the water to an afternoon exploring gardens and historic houses, there’s something for everyone.
A Relaxing Stay After a Day Exploring Cumbria
After the excitement of the Tour de France, The Pheasant Lodge is the perfect place to unwind.
Set within a Georgian country house dating back to the 1700s, our spacious ground-floor lodge has been designed for the most relaxing stay.
Enjoy evenings by the log fire, peaceful garden views and plenty of space, to switch off from the world outside.
Whether you’re visiting for the cycling, the scenery or simply a Lake District escape, we’d love for you to stay with us.
