Why is the AHT situated in Newmarket?
The Animal Health Trust is located in Newmarket because the land on which it stands was donated to the Trust by a very generous supporter. The offer of 140 acres of land, including Lanwades Hall and other buildings, helped provide the foundation of the thriving organisation the AHT is today. Thankfully, it is an area served by good transport networks, being close to the A14 which leads to the M11. Newmarket is particularly appropriate for our Centre for Equine Studies because it is the Headquarters of Thoroughbred racing, training and breeding.
