A garden featuring three sculpted bicycles and a French theme will be built in time for the Grand Départ in next year's Tour de France.

Harrogate Borough Council has commissioned a sculptor to create three sculptures to feature in the garden.

The garden will make its début at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show before going on permanent display at the World’s End Garden in Knaresborough.
