Nestled in the beautiful West Berkshire countryside, within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Lambourn is a welcoming village at the source of the River Lambourn. Known as the Valley of the Racehorse, it has a proud history of horse racing and breeding, alongside a rich heritage that stretches back to Roman times. Landmarks such as the 13th century Church of St Michael and All Angels reflect that long story.
Home to world class trainers and jockeys, and more than 1,500 racehorses, Lambourn is one of Britain’s leading racing centres. The annual Lambourn Open Day offers a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes and attracts visitors from across the country.
Surrounded by rolling countryside, the village is also perfect for walking and cycling, with welcoming pubs and restaurants ready to round off the day.
