The National Stud in Newmarket has reopened its doors for guided tours for the season.
Through Discover Newmarket, visitors can visit the 500-acre site in the heart of Britain's racing and breeding community with a chance to meet the mares, foals and four resident stallions, including the great stayer Stradivarius (Ire) and new arrival Bradsell (GB).
Living legends such as Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere (Ire) and top sprinter The Tin Man (GB) are also spending their retirement at the stud.
Tours run from March to October every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. Private and group tours can be arranged on a date and time to suit for a one-off additional fee of £50 and the usual price per person (adults £16.50, children £5).
Discover Newmarket also runs tours which incorporate a morning on the town's famous gallops along with a visit to the National Stud.
