About

Lambourn sits in a broad chalk valley known as the Lambourn Downs. The River Lambourn, a spring-fed chalk stream, threads through the village and the surrounding farmland; its flow can be seasonal and the streambed is visible in places. The village is one of the country’s principal racehorse training centres, with a network of gallops and dozens of training yards across the downs. Horses and exercise riders are a regular sight on lanes and bridleways, and the local museum records the area’s long association with racing and point-to-pointing.

Great Shefford lies a short distance along the valley and occupies lower slopes and meadowland beside the same stream. A compact village centre, church and green sit among arable fields and pasture, while public footpaths climb onto the open downland. The landscape is shaped by grazing and by lanes that lead to solitary gallops on the ridges, and the chalk stream supports aquatic life typical of lowland springs and creeks. The area is used for walking, riding and local farming rather than large-scale tourism.
