Racing Times

The Berkshire countryside is home to some of the finest yards in British horse racing. Top trainers such as Nicky Henderson and Barry Hills have chosen Lambourn Downs as their base to produce generations of champions.

NEWBURY

Newbury Racecourse hosts some of the very best horse racing both on the flat and National Hunt. Their calendar includes the famous Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup, the Juddmonte Lockinge, a Ladies Day in August and a summer season of top-class racing, including three superb evening meetings.

 

WINDSOR

The charming Thames-side course at Windsor is enormously popular with race-goers. It hosts no less than 29 meetings from April through to December, 17 of which are their famous Monday evening meetings – great, great fun. One rather unique feature of this venue is the arrival by boat from Windsor town – not to be missed!

AND FURTHER AFIELD

The Swan at Streatley is perfectly located for horse racing farther afield; Cheltenham, Bath, Salisbury, Kempton Park and Goodwood are all within an easy drive.
