Saxon House is set in the quiet and rural village of Upper Lambourn, a picturesque village located within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the source of the river Lambourn. It is known as the ‘Valley of the Racehorse’ due to its long history of horse racing and breeding and is home to several world-famous trainers and jockeys as well as some of the finest training facilities in the country.
