The National stud was originally gifted
to the Nation in 1916 and is set in 500 beautiful acres of tree
lined paddocks.
The stud is home to a selection of top class thoroughbreds and tours
provide the opportunity to see the stallions, mares and foals. There
are also miniature Shetland ponies, which provide a warm welcome
for visitors to the Stud.
From March to September and on Newmarket race days in the autumn,
the stud runs guided tours twice daily, at 11.15am and 2.30pm. Large
groups can visit at other times by prior arrangement. Tours are
75 minutes and are taken by coach and on foot.
The Weatherby’s Pavilion provides invaluable background information
about all aspects of The National Stud, which adjoins Wavertree’s
Coffee and Gift Shop. It is open daily to the general public from
9.30am until 4.30pm all though the year. Wavertree’s offers
Breakfast, light lunches and afternoon teas.
