Training gallops at Hambleton House Racehorse training must have been an activity here for many years as somewhere near here was one of the first three official racecourses in England dating back to 1740. There's no evidence of a laid out course on first edition OS maps, so races could have been across open ground. Racing eventually moved to the less draughty location of Thirsk in the 19th century.
