The National Hunt-only venue of Hereford offers a healthy dose of rural charm in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside. Closed in 2012, the track reopened in 2016 and was welcomed back with open arms by the powerful Lambourn and West Country yards.
Whilst being a relatively low-key venue, Hereford is a good place to spot a future star, with the season running from October through to May.
