About

South Newmarket sits just south of Newmarket town centre and runs toward Newmarket Heath. The area mixes housing, small industrial and service yards that support the racing industry, and a network of lanes used by trainers. Bury Road is a main spine, giving direct access to gallops and stable complexes where exercise riders and lorry parks are a regular sight. Daily routines here revolve around early morning work on the turf and the passage of horse boxes to and from training grounds.

The racecourse lies on the heath and is made up of the Rowley Mile and the July Course. The Rowley Mile straight is used for classic spring races, including the 2000 and 1000 Guineas, and the layout creates long, uninterrupted finishes. Around the course you’ll find training gallops running into the open heath, foaling and breaking yards, and handlers moving strings between the town and the training grounds. The pattern of parallel grass gallops and scattered stable yards gives the area its particular working landscape.
