Pay a visit to the Pragnell Water Feature which is located at the highest point on the course and and enjoy a glass of champagne at the Pol Roger Lodge while watching the thrills and sometimes spills of the live action from the best seat in the house!
For those who have not been before, the dressage takes place right in front of Cornbury House and is well worth a visit with a helpful buggy service that will transport guests from the main hub right to the the arenas.
