The South West of England is a major hub for Jump racing, anchored by Cheltenham Racecourse, which hosts the world-famous Cheltenham Festival every March. This four-day pinnacle features iconic races like the Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle.

Beyond Cheltenham, the region features several key National Hunt tracks including Wincanton, known for hosting both the prestigious Kingwell Hurdle and Elite Hurdle. Exeter Racecourse (Haldon) is also nestled within the South West region, sitting at one of the highest altitudes in the UK.

Newton Abbot provides popular summer jumping fixtures, with its Ladies Day in June always guaranteed to attract a large, local crowd, while Taunton maintains a busy winter schedule with the highlight being their Somerset National meeting.

For Flat racing fans, Bath Racecourse and Salisbury Racecourse offer plenty of top-class action to get stuck into throughout the summer months, with the latter famous for its picturesque setting and busy evening racing fixtures.
