Racecourse Road

Street guide, Goodwood

The road that climbs from the estate to the Goodwood Racecourse on the summit of the Downs. The ascent is steep and winding, with hairpin bends that test drivers unfamiliar with the route. During race meetings, the road operates as a one-way system with marshalled junctions. The views from the road as it climbs the escarpment are dramatic, with the coastal plain opening up below.
