The Hungerford to Coworth Park route

The route from Hungerford to Coworth Park covers approximately 35 miles via the A4 and M4, with a typical drive time of 50 minutes (60 to 75 minutes during Ascot race week peak hours). The Lambourn racing valley (Hungerford, East Garston, Lambourn, Kintbury) is one of the wealthiest horseracing postcodes in the UK, home to leading flat and national hunt trainers, owners and international visitors staying at country inns ahead of major race meetings.

Coworth Park, part of the Dorchester Collection, sits on the edge of Windsor Great Park and is widely regarded as the most prestigious hotel for Royal Ascot. The route between the Lambourn valley and Coworth Park is one of the most travelled luxury chauffeur corridors in Berkshire throughout the racing calendar.

Payment by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer or corporate account.

Royal Ascot week (16 to 20 June)

Race week sees Coworth Park fully booked and the surrounding country inns full of pre race week guests. Many international visitors stay at The Queens Arms in East Garston, The Pheasant Inn at Shefford Woodlands, The Vineyard at Stockcross, or one of the private Lambourn country houses, then move to Coworth Park for the race meet itself.

Our chauffeurs know the back roads through Lambourn and Kintbury that avoid the A4 race week congestion, the Coworth Park staff entrance for VIP arrivals, and the timing windows between race day starts. We strongly recommend booking multiple legs at the same time so the same chauffeur handles your Ascot week from start to finish.

For Lambourn owners, trainers and syndicates

The Lambourn racing valley is home to leading UK racehorse trainers. Our chauffeurs handle daily transfers to Ascot, Newbury, Windsor Great Park, Newmarket and Cheltenham, plus Heathrow runs for international owner visits. NDA cover on request for syndicate members and high profile owners. We offer corporate accounts with monthly invoicing for stables and ownership syndicates that book regularly.
