Tweseldown Racecourse southeast of Fleet, Hampshire was originally a National Hunt steeplechasing venue and the home of the equestrian dressage and eventing competitions in the 1948 Summer Olympics.[1]
Until 2012 the venue hosted Point to point racing. Lack of funds caused the owners to cease racing after the 2012 season.[2]
The interior of the course continues to be used for cross country eventing.
