Built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, the Jubilee Clock Tower is a grand sight at the top of Newmarket's High Street.

The Clock Tower is the official start point for the Stour Valley Path, a 63-mile (101 km) long-distance trail that ends at Cattawade on the Stour Estuary.

The Newmarket Clock Tower is located at the top of the High Street. Local builder Richard Arber built it to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee of 1887. The tower was paid for by public subscription, but local trainer Charles Blanton donated the clock made by Smith of Derby Group. The clock tower was officially opened in 1890. It takes 115 turns to fully wind the clock every week.
