Hexham Racecourse
Hexham, United Kingdom
Hexham Racecourse is a National Hunt racecourse located in Hexham, Northumberland. It is a left-handed course and 1m4f in circumference, set at a natural amphitheatre which has hosted racing for around 200 years. Racing began at Tyne Green in the early 18th century, but moved to the current site of Yarridge Heights in the early 19th century. A ten-year hiatus began in 1880 but CWC Henderson helped revive the sport in Hexham, and it has continued ever since, only interrupted by World War II.
