Newmarket’s Racing Royalty Tour delves into the past and unravels the story of how the town became renowned as the home of horseracing. Learn about the most noted Royals, from the past 2000 years, and hear about the secrets and scandals of the rich and famous that have helped shape Newmarket into the thoroughbred capital of the world.
The third is a literary tour for all lovers of the Dick Francis crime novels.
