Lambourn is home to over 30 prominent racing stables and is known as ‘The Valley of the Racehorse’ with its famous gallops preparing Derby, Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle winners. Watching racehorses pounding along the gallops or walking back steaming to the yards is a special early morning sight around The Ridgeway.
It all began with the racehorse owner and breeder William Craven, 3rd Baron, who started the Lambourn Racehorse meetings on his property near Ashdown House in 1731. A detailed history of the area is described with photos on this website created by Lambourn enthusiasts.
