Nestling on the Suffolk-Cambridgeshire border at the gateway to the East of England, Newmarket is both the historical home and the current powerhouse of British horseracing.

It was at Newmarket that Britain's first race was run under written rules more than three centuries ago; where Charles II rode his own horse to victory in a race; and where countless champions of the turf have dazzled racegoers from all over the world with their speed, brilliance and majesty.

Today Newmarket is thriving, with the modern and imposing Rowley Mile Racecourse, the true "Course of Champions", boasting world class racing and facilities and the stunningly picturesque July Course offering its own unique brand of entertainment over the summer months.
