How to Find us

Finding us is easy

Newton Abbot Racecourse is conveniently located in the heart of South Devon and is easily accessible by road, rail and public transport. Whether you’re travelling from nearby or further afield, clear routes and signage make getting here straightforward on raceday.

Please note that on other event days the organisers usually use the entrance on Newton Road on the Tesco roundabout rather than Greenhill Way.

  • Newton Abbot is served by an extensive motorway network. Well signposted, the racecourse is just a short drive from Exeter and the M5. Racegoers should follow the A380 towards Torquay after leaving the M5 at Junction 31. There is ample free parking available in the centre of the racecourse.

    Please note on racedays, the main car entrance in via Greenhill Way and not the Tesco roundabout.

  • Racegoers should leave the A38 at the junction signposted Newton Abbot, following the A383 until the main roundabout on the outskirts of the town. Take the first exit for the A381, signposted to the Racecourse and Kingsteignton. There is ample free parking available in the centre of the racecourse.

    Please note on racedays, the main car entrance in via Greenhill Way and not the Tesco roundabout.

  • Newton Abbot has its own railway station within a three quarters of a mile walk to the course. Newton Abbot is on the mainline from London Paddington.

  • Helicopters can land at the racecourse with prior permission from the Managing Director. Please contact us in advance to arrange.

  • If you are coming by car, there is ample free parking available in the centre of the course. Please see our Car Park map for directions on getting to the racecourse.

  • If walking from the Train Station, please do not follow the route planner from Google Maps as this will take you to the wrong side of the racecourse where no entry is permitted. Please follow the main roads and enter via the Pedestrian Entrance opposite Tesco.
