FAQs

About Ludlow Racecourse

Ludlow Racecourse is a distinct and historic venue located in Shropshire, just two miles north of the town of Ludlow. Racing has been recorded at the site since 1725, though local legend suggests soldiers from Ludlow Castle raced horses there as early as the 14th century. The course is famously known as “Britain’s Friendliest Racecourse,” retaining a charming Edwardian character and a strong club atmosphere. A unique feature of the track is that it crosses the B4365 road at three separate points, requiring traffic to be stopped during races, and it also houses the Ludlow Golf Club within the center of the course.

The track itself is a sharp, right-handed oval dedicated exclusively to National Hunt racing. It hosts several significant fixtures throughout the jump season, including the Forbra Gold Cup in February and the Tanners Claret Handicap Chase in December. During the Second World War, the course served as a US Army camp housing over 2,000 soldiers, adding a layer of military history to its sporting legacy. Today, it remains a popular destination for racing enthusiasts, offering excellent views of the Clee Hills and a unique rural racing experience.
