Cheltenham is regarded as the 'Home of National Hunt racing' predominantly because of the four day Cheltenham Festival held in March each year, which featuring the famous Cheltenham Gold Cup. The racecourse itself is located in a natural amphitheatre just below the Cotswold Hills, at Cleeve Hill and can hold 67,500 spectators.The racecourse has three separate courses - the Old Course and the New Course. The New Course has a downhill fence and a longer run-in for steeplechases than the Old Course. Hurdle races over two miles on the New Course also have a slight peculiarity in that most of the hurdles are jumped early on in the race with only two hurdles being jumped in the last seven furlongs. The third course is a cross-country course which is laid out inside the main racecourse.There are three enclosures at Cheltenham, the first being the Sun's Best Mate Enclosure which is directly opposite the main stands. Being so close to the main stands give a great view of the racing, and there are a great choice of foods and betting facilities and bars, while 'cover' bands provide musical entertainment.The Tattersalls Enclosure is extended for the Festival to include the Guinness village to provide extra viewing steps as well as additional bars, bands and other forms of entertainment. The Tattersalls gives access to all the bookmakers in the betting ring, as well as to The Centaur, Paddock and unsaddling enclosure and the Hall of Fame, the Gold Cup and Festival restaurants and the trade stands in the Tented Village.
