Directions
From Marlborough take the A346 Swindon Road. At the top of the hill coming out of Marlborough turn left and 100 yards further on turn right. This will put you on a narrow road with the golf course and Rugby pitches on your right. Continue along this road for about 3 miles. A sign post on the right to Point-to-Point and Alan King Racing. Take this road and parking is at the Point-to-Point course.
From the M4 take junction 15 to Marlborough. As you approach Marlborough you will see the entrance to Marlborough golf course on your right, soon after turn right and follow the road with the golf course on your right. Join the directions above past the rugby pitches and the golf course.
Barbury Castle is on the Marlborough Downs and the going, even when most of Berkshire is under water, is always excellent. The jumps are all purpose built fences. Quite a number are free standing and are therefore optional and they are all nice inviting jumps. The day is very suitable for novices but is a great opportunity to give an event horse a good gallop as part of his spring preparation. There are excellent opportunities for spectators.
