Cartmel is a delightful Jumps course set in the beautiful scenery of the Lake District. The course is a left handed oval of about 1 mile 1 furlong with tight bends that give it a very interesting place to view racing.
The course is a sharp and narrow left handed oval. The difference from other courses is the home straight which unusually veers off and dissects the main oval. The main circuit measures just over one mile and one furlong and what is also unique to Cartmel is that the run-in (the distance from the last fence to the finish line) is known as the longest in the country at just over 4 furlongs.
