The Tour of Britain elite men's cycle race comes to Hadleigh on Thursday, September 7, and we can bring you the best places to watch the spectacle.

A rolling road block will be in place ahead and behind the peloton, which includes more than 100 cyclists, along with teams, media and police, as they win their way from East Bergholt to to Layham into Hadleigh for the sprint section, then put towards Bildeston.

These delays will usually last around 15 minutes, but all the main roads and lanes will be open until the athletes arrive in the Hadleigh area at around 12.15am, until they head off towards the finish at Felixstowe,

Parking restrictions will be in place, along the whole race route with vehicles warned not to park from 10.30am as indicated by the yellow signs in villages such as:

• Layham
• Benton End
• Hadleigh High Street
• Bildeston

Homeowners along the affected areas have received letter and vehicles owners warned any found parked along the route could be towed and a recovery cost charged.

Due to the race being held on public roads, there are many excellent areas for spectators to watch the event, which has attracted worldwide television coverage.

The best spots are along long stretches, including the sprint in the bunting bedecked High Street, as the route winds through Suffolk's rolling countryside.

Make Hadleigh stand out for the cameras.
