Royal Cambridge Hotel

Newmarket Racecourse has a capacity of 45,000. It is a British Thoroughbred horse racing venue in the town of Newmarket, Suffolk and is home to the largest cluster of training yards in the country and many key horse racing organisations, including Tattersalls, the National Horseracing Museum and the National Stud. The racecourse hosts two of the country’s five Classic Races – the 1,000 Guineas and 2,000 Guineas, and numerous other Group races. In total, it hosts 9 of British racing’s 32 annual Group 1 races.

The Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial site covers 30.5 acres in total. It contains the remains of 3,812 of military personnel and houses 5,127 names recorded on the Tablets of the Missing. Most perished in the Battle of the Atlantic or in the strategic air bombardment of northwest Europe. Along the south side are the Tablets of the Missing, and at the far end is the memorial with a chapel, two huge military maps, stained glass windows bearing the state seals and military decorations, and a mosaic ceiling memorial honouring the air forces. A new, 4,000-square-foot visitor centre opened in May 2014. Through interpretive exhibits that incorporate personal stories, photographs, films, and interactive displays, vistors will gain a better understanding of this critical campaign that contributed to the Allied victory in Europe during World War II.

Located just 400 yards from hotel, The Fitzwilliam Museum was described by the Standing Commission on Museums & Galleries in 1968 as “one of the greatest art collections of the nation and a monument of the first importance”. It owes its foundation to Richard, VI Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion who, in 1816, bequeathed to the University of Cambridge his works of art and library, to further “the Increase of Learning and other great Objects of that Noble Foundation”.
