A days racing in the Lune Valley.....
Racing first took place at Whittington in 1936. The setting for the course is idyllic in the heart of the Lune valley next to the river Lune. The horses jump 18 steeple chase style fences in the during the 3mile 2 furlong races. A large hill forms a natural amphitheatre from which alows viewing of the entire course. The course side car park is ideal for picnicking providing a excellent place to while away the afternoon with family and friends.
