There are, as of 30 January 2021, 59 racecourses operating in Great Britain (excluding Point-to-Point courses). In addition, there is a former racecourse, Folkestone, which is mothballed pending a decision over its future. There are currently no plans for Folkestone to operate fixtures although the basic racecourse infrastructure remains intact. Hereford racecourse reopened in October 2016 having been closed since 2012. Towcester racecourse is currently in administration and the future of racing at the venue is uncertain.Grand National circuit, 2m2f, is flat and has big fences with drop on landing side and a long run-in. Mildmay Course, 1m3f, flat with conventional fences, is sharper than hurdles course.There is both a straight mile and also a round mile course.Some were very significant in their day and held major races which persist to this day. For example, the flat season's traditional curtain raiser, the Lincolnshire Handicap was once held at the racecourse that gave it its name in Lincoln but is now held at Doncaster.Still open parkland known as the Racecourse Playing Fields.

A stand was erected in 1772.In 1840 was holding a two-day meeting at the end of August. At this course long distance steeplechases involved crossing the River Dart and the Totnes -Newton Abbot road.The list below is a selection of these, taken from Whyte's History of the British Turf. Where dates are not given for closure, it is possible they were still extant in the 20th century. No distinction has been made between enclosed courses of the type that are familiar now and those that were run over unenclosed courses, more akin to point-to-point racing. Indeed, some of these racecourses or parts of them are still used for that purpose.Formerly at Beadnell. Held the 'Ordinaries' at The Star Inn, Burntwood. Had a 'commodious stand'.The course was a two mile flat oval. Leonard's Plate, both of 50 sovereigns Two-day meetings were held at the beginning of August.

Another meeting was held on Tuesday 26 November 1850 with the final meeting being on Monday 30 October 1871. Middleham is still home to many racing stables. A two-day meeting was held in mid-October. A grandstand was built at the start of the 19th century.Its regular meeting was two days in September and included the Shropshire Stakes and a Gold Cup. A two-day meeting was held at the start of August. The link below provides a wonderfully detailed description of the course and plans to transform it into a conservation area:-It was 1 mile 185 yards round. Races took place in mid-September for 3 or 4 days and included a Queen's Plate of 100gs. In Chris Pitt's book, A Long TIme Gone, he states the meetings began in 1774 but there is evidence on John Slusar's website, The Greyhound Derby, that shows it was 1730. Held a two-day meeting at the beginning of August. Held 'very inferior' races at the start of October. Had a Cup Stakes of ?100 in value. Home to the St. Albans' Steeple Chase.

The Grand National course is 2m2f round, with drop fences providing a very stiff test. The Mildmay course, just 1m3f in circumference, is tight and also takes some jumping.Leave M62 at J6 to join M57, follow signs for races. From North: Leave M6 at J26 and join M58, follow signs for races. From Mersey Tunnels: Follow signs for Preston, then for A59, then signs for races. By Rail: Aintree station adjoins the course. Admission: All enclosures: ?18. Grand National prices fixed annually. Catering: Somewhat poor food available in the Queen Mother Stand and Princess Royal Stand. Bars lack conviviality except for the crowded gallery looking out from the ancient County Stand. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: Aintree is an unattractive suburb of Liverpool but travel north along the coast to Southport where the Royal Clifton has a good restaurant and several pubby bars sell good northern beers. Aintree Aintree In Depth The jumps course is a tough test for a novice or inexperienced horse. On the round course low numbers are favored.By Rail: Ascot station is 7 minutes walk with regular services from Waterloo, Guildford, Reading. Admission: Premier Admission: ?25; General Admission: ?15. Catering: Bars sell fair priced drinks and there is a wide range of good quality food on offer, including 3 course picnic baskets at ?12.95.

On the round course low numbers are favored galloping 01292 264179 www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk How to get there By Road: Just outside Ayr, the course can be reached via the A713 from the south, via the A70 from the west or the A77 from the north. By Rail: Ayr station is 1 mile from the course and there is a bus service to the course. Admission: Club: ?20. Grandstand: ?14. Accompanied U-16's free Despite the spectacular coastline the general ambience of the course is a little seedy and down at heel. Catering: A club badge gains ntrance to the elegant Western House whee a 3 course meal is ?15. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: Turnberry Hotel south of Ayr, Lockgreen House, troon, Fairfield House, Ayr Ayr The unusual circular shape of the racecourse, coupled with undulations in the back straight can throw some horses off balance. Course specialists and front runners should be respected.By Rail: Euston line to Wrexham General then taxi to course. Admission: Paddock ?16, Course ?7 Bangor has a pleasant rural feel and is the only course with no grandstand; grass banks provide natural viewing. ?7 ticket holders are able to park on the banks and view from their cars. Car parks can become boggy in wet weather. Catering: Boasts a spacious new restaurant, half given over to waitress served tables and half to a self-service buffet serving hot and cold carvery, cakes, pastries and good coffee. The main food hall offers rolls, burgers and soup and at one end is a cosy sea food bar. A wooden hut for a public bar is a lot better than it looks and creates a pubby feel. Not to be missed is the solitary private box with its own balcony and bar. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: Cross Lanes Hotel is a three star establishment in the village and there are also two pubs. 10 miles east at Bickley Moss the Cholmondley Arms provides comfortable accommodation. Bangor Guide to Bath Left-handed oval of 1m 4f 25y. Galloping track with a stiff run-in of about 4f that bears to the left. An extended chute provides for races over 5f 11y and 5f 161y. One of the drier Racecourses and the ground is seldom testing. Low numbers are slightly favoured stiff 01225 424609 www.bath-racecourse.co.uk How to get there By Road: 3 miles north-west of bath on A46, reached via M4 J18. By Rail: Paddington or Bristol to Bath; regular buses to course. Centre Course ?10. Accompanied under 16s Free. The racecourse is rather tatty and faded with a number of ugly buildings thrown together. This may change now it has been acquired by Stan Clarke. Car parking is free and well organised. There is a fairly new stand in Georgian style alongside the original clubhouse. The racecard and public address lack imagination. Avoid the paddock bar and head for the lounge on the first floor of the new stand. Catering: The best plan is to lunch in Bath and then pay ?5 for the Silver ring which has a good viewing stand. Plenty of bookmakers and moderate food and drink are available. An uncovered terrace atop the old members stand gives the best view of the races. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: There are two 5 star hotels in town, the Bath Spa and the Royal Crescent. Less expensive is the Queensbury in Russel Street and the basement restaurant (the Olive tree)is among the best in Bath. Pubs worthy of mention include the Moody Goose, the Hole in the Wall and 2 miles west of town the excellent Lettonie. Best pub of all is the George at Norton St Philip. Bath Guide to Beverley Right-handed oval of 1m 3f, with an uphill run-in of two and half furlongs. Very stiff 5f course. In races up to 1m on firm ground, high numbers are favoured.By Rail: Kings Cross to Beverley (change at Doncaster or Hull)then bus or taxi to racecourse. Set on a hillside, Beverley racecourse is somewhat exposed to the elements but with a charming view down to the 7th century minster, where Lewis Caroll, author of Alice In Wonderland, was once a curate. The course from the town is poorly signposted and the car park is rough and uneven. However the smart entrance hall, manned by liveried staff, creates a favourable impression. Racecards at ?1 are not glossy but effective and the public address is chatty. Betting is supplied by bookmakers at either end of the course and the track can be viewed from the steps of the stand. Catering: Well tended flower beds and benches lead to the Paddock Bar which has a first floor balcony overlooking the winners enclosure and a head on view of the straight. The bar is comfortable and the beer is cheap. The buffet food here is good and fresh and a Tattersalls badge gains admission. For those paying ?15 entrance fee the members restaurant posts a menu in the entrance lobby and there is a proper fish and chip shop further down the course. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: Best pub is the White Horse at Hengate, while the Beverley Arms is a decent hotel in the town centre. Rowley Manor, in Little Weighton is a pleasant place to stay and the Manor House at Walkington has a fine restaurant. Suits handy types, downhill 01273 603580 www.brighton-racecourse.co.uk How to get there By Road: East of town on the A2 - access signs not very clear. By Rail: Brighton station; regular buses to course. There are a number of low-level hospitality suites and Catering outlets. The main stand is bright and well equipped. Catering: the bar staff are attentive and drinks prices reasonable - unusually you can buy champagne by the glass. The main restaurant offers a 3 course meal for ?25 while snack bars and a seafood bar provide inexpensive fare. Filtered coffee is available in most areas. The racecard at ?1.50 is good value and interviews with trainers in the winning enclosure are broadcast over the public address. There are a large number of TV screens with a giant one in the members bar. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: Small hotels abound in town and the Regency Square is better value than its grander neighbours. The Dove offers sea views and personal service or try the Courtlands In The Drive at nearby Hove. The Black Chapati is a fun restaurant or if you prefer French food visit One Penton Place in Kemp town. Brighton Undulating with easy turns and a stiff uphill run-in of three and half furlongs. NH Course is stiff and undulating with an uphill run-in, ideally suited to the thorough stayer. High numbers slightly favored, particularly in sprints, except on soft ground when low numbers are better.By Rail: Carlisle station; regular buses to course. Admission: County Enclosure: ?17; Tattersalls: ?12; OAP's ?8. Accompanied under-16's free. Premier days: County: ?20. Tattersalls: ?15, OAP's ?10. This is a cosy, clubby place where everyone is made to feel welcome. There is both flat and National Hunt racing but it is primarily a jumps course with a daunting 5 furlong climb to the winning post. Catering: The wine and coffee bar next to the the paddock sells homely fare and homemade cakes. The members dining room upstairs provides a decent lunch for ?14.50. The place to be is the Lucius bar downstairs serving whiskey and beer, cigars and Yorkshireman's pie at ?2 a slice. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: Set in a rural area there are some good pubs and country hotels. Best of these is the Crosby Lodge Hotel east of the town or the North Lakes Hotel off junction 40 of the M6 and to the west on the A66 the Pheasant at Bassenthwaite. Pubs of note include the Duke's Head at Armathwaite and the Crown at Wetheral. Carlisle Guide to Cartmel Left-handed oval of 1m 1f (6) 800y run-in. Track is flat and very sharp, with the longest run-in in the country of about half a mile. Fences are stiff but fair. The most picturesque of Racecourses.By Rail: To Carke in Cartmel and Grange-Over-Sands. Admission: Paddock: ?18 (over 60's ?13). Course: ?9 (over 60's ?7). Under 16's free if accompanied by an adult. Cartmel is a unique rural course devoted to jumps racing. As you make your way through the village you come across it in the middle, complete with the village cricket square. The racing is not of the highest calibre but provides an unusual and rewarding day out. Staff are attentive and charming. The racecard is glossy, informative and only ?1. There is usually pre-race entertainment such as terrier racing. Catering: Cartmel provides the perfect setting for a picnic and marquees provide seafood, champagne or a 3 course lunch. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: Cartmel boasts 2 fine country hotels Aynsome Manor and Uplands. The Old Vicarage at Witherslack, a short drive north, provides above average standards of accommodation, food and drink. The Cartmel restaurant L'Enclume provides expensive high class cuisine and pubs in the area include the 15th century Cavendish and the Masons Arms at Cartmel Fell. Cartmel Catterick Flat track is a left handed, undulating oval of 1m 180y with a downhill run-in of 3f. NH track is 1m 1f (9) 240y run-in. Sharp track that suits front runners. Low numbers are favoured, especially over 6f. High numbers are favoured over 5f on soft ground.By Rail: To Darlington or Northallerton then bus service. Admission: Club: ?16, Tattersalls: ?12, Course Enclosure: ?3.50. Accompanied Children Under 16 Free. Not a particularly attractive course although easy to find and parking adequate when you get there. The staff could be more helpful and friendly and some of the facilities are antiquated. The stand offers decent shelter and affords a good view of the tight left handed track. The racecard is poor and the public address uninformative. Catering: The Paddock bar is pleasant and the dining room has character. The ambitious menu includes seafood bouillabaise (?7.15) and stuffed breast of lamb ?6.95. The Club bar serves homemade giant Yorkshire puddings with a variety of fillings(?3.45) A good selection of champagnes are available (?22 to ?42) and cigars are on display. Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants: Avoid Catterick and head for the Kings Head at Richmond or the White Swan at Middleham. However the best choice locally is the Blue Lion in the village of East Witton. Catterick Admission: Online tickets start from ?15 and at the course ?
