10 Horse Tracks in Yorkshire That You Shouldn't Miss
Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

2. Beverley Racecourse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 425 reviews
A visit to Beverley Racecourse is a seriously good day out, a fact that the people of Beverley have been quite rightly proud of for over 300 years. Set in the stunning surroundings of The Westwood, the racecourse hosts horse racing between April and September every year. We have 19 race meetings in total, 11 of which feature extra entertainment and fun, from the family-themed May Day with a petting zoo and funfair rides to the glamour of Ladies' Day. For the racing fan, our Very British Raceday in June with its two feature races for the country's best two-year-old horses sees them battle it out in a fast and furious contest up our infamous uphill 5 furlong sprint (a furlong being about 660 feet for the as-yet uninititated.) There's always a warm welcome at Beverley, and whether you prefer to bring the family with a picnic and a rug or your friends for an afternoon of fun and catching up, you'll find lots of like-minded people enjoying the day and the excitement of watching your horse thundering home. Tickets in advance are much the cheapest way to visit and can be bought via our website, along with lots more information about all of our racedays. Let us show you how much fun an afternoon at the races can be! 2017 Fixtures At A Glance Weds 19 April The White Rabbit in Easterland Raceday Thurs 27 April Afternoon Racing Mon 01 May May Day Raceday Tues 16 May Afternoon Racing Wed 31 May Half Term Raceday Sat 10 June A Very British Raceday Tues 20 June 70s Racenight Feat: Bus Stop Tues 27 June Afternoon Racing Fri 07 July Party on the Pasture Racenight Sat 08 July The Big Saturday Raceday Tues 18 July Afternoon Racing Mon 24 July Carnival Racenight Tues 01 Aug Roll Up, Roll Up Raceday Weds 16 Aug Flemingate Ladies' Day Thurs 17 Aug Afternoon Racing Feat: The Camel Derby Sun 27 Aug A Sunday Hop Sat 02 Sep Totepool Beverley Bullet Raceday Weds 20 Sept Afternoon Racing Tues 26 Sept Season Closer

Many racecourses could learn from Ripon Made welcome to bring in a picnic, with a reasonable amount of alcohol (4 cans per person) area for your own chairs near the rails, area set aside for everyone to go up to the rails. Very friendly staff, plenty of tables and chairs in other areas. Park for children away from bookies. Lovely clean toilets, plenty of rubbish bins, staff going around regularly emptying them, very little rubbish left around Really good day out - see you again
4. Wetherby Racecourse

Reviewed By OfftheirP - Manchester, United Kingdom
This is a regular venue for us and the reason is because it is so good. Other racecourses could learn a lot from this place and how it looks after its customers. At £16 the entry to Tattersalls is good value and the viewing is fabulous. There is a nice mainly glass stand close to the winning post that gives great viewing should the weather be very cold. Access to the parade ring and winners enclosure is easy and there are plenty of bookmakers to have a bet with. The bar facilities are excellent and it must be the easiest racecourse in the country to buy a drink at. The big bar man from Middlesbrough is a great bloke and his service isoutstanding. The racing itself is usually good quality and we actually walk it from the town centre. This perhaps is one area for potential improvements as there are you are no taxis after racing when we were there. A shuttle bus from the town centre would be a great addition as well.

We attended the meeting on October 11th having purchased tickets in the Grandstand area. The course is a 15 minute easy walk from the City Centre and also served by buses. Set over a number of floors, it's really easy to move around with plenty of light and great views over the course. There are numerous food outlets and bars where the queues were minimal, although it was a Friday meeting. I could imagine weekends potentially being a different story. Overall we really enjoyed our day here and will definitely be back again.

I went about a month ago for the first time in 2-3 years and didn't know what to expect but I wasn't disappointed at all really we went in and there was a bouncy castle for the younger ones and just a small walk through to the area where you watch the races and we watched a few races and we were happy being very close to the action and we even won money for the last race. Will deffo come again soon!
