Hexham Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing track located in Hexham, Northumberland, England.[1]
Situated 800 feet above sea level at High Yarridge, just south of the town, the course is a left-handed circuit of about one and a half miles with a short uphill climb on the approach to the finishing straight and a run-in of 250 yards. Hexham is a National Hunt course with ten fences for the steeplechasers to negotiate. Its principal race is the Heart of All England Hunter Chase.[2]
Hexham is the most northerly National Hunt course in England and its remote position means that no races are held in February.[3]
