A day at the races

Larkhill, near Amesbury, on the blowy last day of March - point to point racing with the Avon Vale hunt.

A fun and varied day. Point to Point racing takes place at Larkhill and at the Barbary Castle, both within about 30 miles of Melksham, and there are full race courses nearby at Salisbury and Bath.
