Ripon Racecourse

Horse racing in Ripon, North Yorkshire takes place at what is affectionately termed Yorkshire's Garden Racecourse - Ripon Racecourse. As you can imagine, Ripon Racecourse is in a beautiful spot, in a diminutive market town whose medieval cathedral makes it one of the oldest cities in England. There has been racing at Ripon Racecourse for around 300 years, with more than £850,000 in prize money set to attract some of the best horse racing talent in the country, man and beast. You'll find all the action is situated close to the A1, 11 miles north of Harrogate.
