Bath Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located on Lansdown Hill, just north of Bath, Somerset, owned by Arena Racing Company.
The racecourse is a left-handed oval track of 1 mile 4 furlongs and 25 yards, with a run-in of nearly half-a-mile.[1]
At 780 feet (238 m) above sea level Bath is Britain's highest flat racecourse, although National Hunt courses Hexham and Exeter are higher.[2]
Racing was first recorded at Bath in 1728.[3] During World War II it was used as a landing field by the Royal Air Force and named RAF North Stoke.[4]
