Thrilling horseracing on the Barbury downland

Barbury Castle has hosted racing for over 100 years, since Aubrey Hastings and Ivor Anthony dominated the Flat and Jumps calendars in the early years of the twentieth century. Now you can enjoy highly competitive steeplechasing in the natural amphitheatre of Barbury Racecourse each winter across four fixtures from December – April. This is the home of racing in Wiltshire, an estate which also hosts top trainer Alan King, with Emma Lavelle, Brian Meehan and George Baker a stone’s throw away. But each day is not just about the racing; there’s shops, a bar, bookmakers and fun for all the family in the bracing fresh air of Barbury.

The village of Avebury is the centre of some of the most important prehistoric monuments in Britain. You can walk around the impressive 4,000-year-old stone circle, the biggest in Europe, wonder at the mysterious Silbury Hill and then walk to the even older West Kennet long barrow. Stop for a pint in The Red Lion pub or buy a drink and sandwich in the local community shop.
