Plumpton Racecourse is a National Hunt (jumping) horse racing course at the village of Plumpton, East Sussex near Lewes and Brighton.
It is one of the smaller National Hunt race courses in Britain, rather hilly, a tightish left-handed circuit of just over a mile. There is a hurdle course inside the chase course, both sharing the same uphill finish.
The course is adjacent to Plumpton railway station, served by occasional trains from London Victoria to Lewes, which makes it a convenient day trip from London. Extra trains are sometimes run on race days.
