If you like horses, go to Newmarket ! There are two race courses, the
Rowley Mile (which hosts two of the British Classics) and the July Course. I
prefer the Rowley Mile which now has a modern grandstand and excellent
facilities - and if you go there, walk out to the rails and look at the sky - it's
huge !! In the town there are plenty of pubs and restaurants, and also the
National Horse Racing Museum.

Newmarket, Rowley Mile Grandstand
The old grandstand on the Rowley Mile Course - this was demolished in the late 1990s and replaced with a more modern structure with excellent facilities - but
for the ordinary racegoer, the view of the racing is not as good.
Compare this postcard with that above and note the changes - I presume this
card is much earlier.
