Newmarket

 

Yesterday we walked our two basset hounds along one of the largest ancient man-made structures in the world; the Devil's Dyke at Newmarket. You can see the whole of Newmarket Heath which is the largest area of mown grass in the world.

This all came about because of the Iceni and their descendents, who founded the town of New Horse Market, where they created the most successful animal the world has ever seen; the thoroughbred horse.

Every racehorse in the world can be traced back to this small town in Suffolk.
