For nine days during summer, Cartmel is one of the most popular venues in the north of England. Providing unique and exciting jumps racing, the Cumbrian track has been known to attract a family friendly crowd of up to 20,000 racegoers.
There are only six fences on the chase course, which is sharp and trappy, while the four furlong run-in from the last is the longest in the country. Cartmel is a left-handed track like no other and whether you’re watching on TV or taking the pilgrimage there, it is a spectacle well worth enjoying every year.
