| 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. |
