Ascot Racecourse

Ascot Racecourse is a prestigious thoroughbred horse racing venue located in the village of Ascot in Berkshire, approximately six miles south-west of Windsor. The course was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne and has maintained its strong royal association ever since, with the British monarch traditionally attending the annual Royal Ascot meeting. Royal Ascot, held each June, is one of the highlights of both the racing calendar and the British social season, attracting large crowds and renowned for its strict dress codes. The racecourse hosts both flat racing and jump racing throughout the year.
