Great day A great day will Larry and Lady Jane Cecil visiting Frankel, James Fanshawes yard ,gallops and racecourse. Very insightful in all aspects and thoroughly enjoyable. Have visited 3 trainers yards over the years and thought James was the best talker and entertained us all. Tom at Judmonte also excellent.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Exceptional Char was absolutely brilliant and full of knowledge. We had a private tour and it was so worth the money! The tour had so many different elements and at no point felt rushed. We would highly recommend even if you don’t have a knowledge of horses/racing!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

First class tour. We went on the Newmarket Experience tour led by Larry. It was brilliant! So interesting and well organised, with wonderful knowledgeable information imparted by Larry who was first class. Up close and personal on the gallops and at Dylan Cunha's yard, the stallions at the National Stud decided to stay up the other end of their paddocks but, heyho, that's horses! We loved every minute.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Fantastic Day Out We had a fantastic experience today on our tour. Our guide Char was excellent so knowledgeable and really made the day. I couldn’t pick a highlight as the whole thing was excellent, the Gallops, the racing stable and being able to see Stradivarius at the Stud was fantastic. I even got my husband on the racing simulator at the museum where the man was so helpful. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

National Stud A thoroughly enjoyable 90 minutes. Our guide Richard was friendly, informative, knowledgeable and humorous. Whether racing enthusiast or having little or no knowledge about racing it is not to be missed. Richard explained racing jargon and also welcomed questions. Highlights included learning about bloodlines, day to day working of the stud and meeting the resident stallions, mares and foals and retirees….Lord Windermere and Tin ManPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Dalham Hall Stud The day started at Bedford Lodge Hotel with Larry 'The Legend' Bowden driving us to the Warren Hill Gallops to see a large number of horses going about their daily exercise. From there it was back to the Bedford Lodge for an early full English brunch. After that Larry drove us to the Dalham Hall Stud where a member of staff (I think his name was Ben) showed us around the grounds & facilities. The highlight was seeing the Darley stallions including their prize possession, Dubawi. Some of the stallions were paraded for us in front of the boxes. After the tour it was back to Bedford Lodge. As someone with only limited knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes in horse racing & breeding, I learned so much from Larry (a former jockey himself) & our guide at Dalham. Both of them made the experience really informative & enjoyable. I will look to book another tour like this soon.
