Silverstone
Home of the British Grand Prix — one of the world's most iconic racing circuits
The end of the Second World War left Britain with no major race track but plenty of airfields. On 2 October 1948, the Royal Automobile Club hosted the first British Grand Prix at Silverstone, a former RAF base. An estimated 100,000 people flocked to see Luigi Villoresi beat 22 others in his Maserati — and Silverstone’s racing history had begun.
Today, Silverstone is one of the most famous circuits in the world. Whether you’re here for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, a track day in your own car, or a tour of the impressive Silverstone Museum, there’s something for every petrolhead. Just 20 minutes from The Fox, it makes for a brilliant day out before returning for a well-earned pint.
