The international centre of thoroughbred horse racing, you’ll find that plenty of walks around Newmarket take you past stables, riding schools and, naturally, its world-famous racecourse. You don’t have to be interested in speedy steeds to enjoy the area’s glorious walking opportunities though, because the countryside is also packed with nature reserves, rivers, historic windmills and terrain that’s particularly easy on the legs: it’s rather low-lying.
