Itinerary

Day 1 We travel to Cambridgeshire making suitable refreshment stops along the way, arriving at our hotel late afternoon.

Day 2 This morning we head for Newmarket, home of horse racing. Our guide will take us first to The Gallops. Listen to the beat of the hooves as you watch the horses on their morning exercise on over 2500 acres of Jockey Club land. You’ll see the variety in gallops and learn lots of interesting facts from your knowledgeable guide. From here we return to the coach for our Racing Royalty Tour. Our guide will point out all the local studs and tell you more about their royal connections. Next stop is the National Stud - a fascinating and informative visit even for those not interested horse racing. We learn how a horse progresses from training field to racetrack. We also get up close and personal with the horses with a chance to see top stallions, mares and foals taking their first steps to becoming a racehorse. From here we are off to Newmarket Racecourse for Race Day where we have time to enjoy the exciting atmosphere as you cheer your favourite towards the winning post. During our visit we have included Afternoon Tea at the Races. Later, we return to the hotel - hopefully to celebrate a successful day

Day 3 After breakfast we visit the cathedral city of Cambridge with time to explore and get some lunch. In the afternoon, we travel home.
