Places to stay in Newmarket
Newmarket is a small attractive market town situated on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire border just 20 minutes from Cambridge. As you arrive in the town, the impact of the horseracing industry is immediately obvious, not only because of the horse walks (pavements) and traffic lights (horse crossing warning lights and signs) that you will see, there to help them make their journey from their yard to the exercise grounds a safe one, but also because open heathland stretches for miles at both ends of the town, with the main training ground - Warren Hill - running right into the town centre. Arts and culture in Suffolk are as vibrant as they are varied, encompassing classic concerts at Aldeburgh Music, Ipswich's annual summer festival. For rock music and gigs, Suffolk is home to the likes of the Latitude Festival, and if you want to dance, Suffolk has world-class performances at DanceEast on the rejuvenated Ipswich Waterfront. There's a huge array of attractions in Suffolk, sit back and enjoy the high-octane thrills on the rides at Pleasurewood Hills. For great days out in Suffolk, start the morning by making a splash in the sea or storming one of our castles before heading off-road for an afternoon cycling through endless acres of forestry.
