Training sessions will take place in the centre of the famous iconic Chester racecourse, known locally as the ‘Roodee’. Chester Racecourse is the oldest racecourse in the UK and truly one of the most unique courses in the world. During the Roman occupation of Britain, most of the modern sixty five acre site of Chester racecourse was not even dry land. In fact, it was an important harbour on the River Dee, which supplied the roman garrison of Deva, some of the anchor stones used at the roman port can still be observed at the current racecourse site.
