Welcome to Cheltenham
Jumps racing over two courses, the Old and the New. There are now two fences in the home straight. After the 2010 Festival, the penultimate fence was moved 239 yards from the bottom of the hill, round the bend on to the finish straight, as previously the fence came at the bottom of a short downhill gradient
Home of jumps racing in England, and the venue for one of the greatest racing festivals in the world, with it's four-day meeting in March including the Champion Hurdle, the Queen Mother Champion Chase and the Cheltenham Gold Cup. But it's more than just the racing that makes the Irish travel over in their thousands. The Guinness Village is well worth a visit!
Racing tends to very competitive and the top jockeys and trainers always save their best for this course.
