Local area guide
Skip hire in Newmarket
Newmarket is a town in Suffolk, sitting on the Cambridgeshire border around 14 miles east of Cambridge, with a population of around 17,000. It is the global headquarters of thoroughbred horse racing and has been for four centuries — no other town in the world is so completely defined by a single sport. Around 3,500 racehorses are stabled here, with some seventy training yards, two racecourses, the largest cluster of equine veterinary expertise anywhere, and the headquarters of the Jockey Club and Tattersalls, the oldest bloodstock auctioneers in the world.
Racing came to Newmarket through royal patronage. James I discovered the heath while hunting in 1605 and built a palace, and Charles II established the sport here in earnest after the Restoration, riding in races himself, moving the court to Newmarket for the season and founding the Town Plate, which he won twice and which is still run today — the oldest horse race in the world under continuous rules. Nell Gwyn's house stands in the town, and Charles's palace survives in part as Palace House, now the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art.
The two courses are the Rowley Mile — named after Charles II's nickname, taken from his favourite hack — and the July Course. Between them they stage two of the five Classics, the 1000 Guineas and 2000 Guineas, both first run in the early 1800s. The town is surrounded by some 2,500 acres of training grounds on Newmarket Heath, crossed by horse walks and gallops, and the morning string of horses moving through the streets to the heath is an everyday sight.
The Devil's Dyke, a vast Anglo-Saxon earthwork running seven and a half miles across the heath, is one of the most impressive linear monuments in Britain and forms the boundary of the racecourse. The National Stud, on the town's edge, is open to visitors.
Newmarket sits on the A14 and A11 with Cambridge around 25 minutes away, and Newmarket station gives services to Cambridge and Ipswich. Housing ranges from Georgian property along the High Street and Old Station Road — much of the centre a conservation area — to substantial trainers' houses and stud properties, Victorian terraces built for stable staff, interwar and post-war estates, and modern development on the edges, with the housing market shaped unusually heavily by the racing industry's accommodation needs.
