About Newbury

Known for

The Newbury Racecourse (one of England's most prestigious flat racing courses), the Kennet and Avon Canal, the two Civil War battles fought here, and a Berkshire market town of racing and military heritage

A little history

Two significant Civil War battles were fought at Newbury — in 1643 and 1644 — both indecisive but costly. Newbury Racecourse has hosted prestigious flat racing since 1905. The Kennet and Avon Canal passes through the town. The town is well connected on the main Reading-Bristol rail line.

Local tip

Newbury Racecourse for prestigious flat racing — particularly the Hennessy in November. The Kennet and Avon Canal towpath walk. The market for local Berkshire produce. The Civil War connection at Donnington Castle nearby.
