Set in the heart of Northumberland, just south of Hadrian's Wall and 700 metres above sea level, Hexham is one of the highest tracks in Britain. A left-handed, undulating circuit, this track lends itself particularly well to locally-trained course specialists. The weather may not always be the best here but the stunning scenery more than compensates. Hexham Racecourse, High Yarridge, Hexham, Northumberland NE46 2JP.
