The Sporting Life

Great Britain is a land of castles, kings, and queens, but its historic identity also encompasses a deep-rooted passion for the outdoors and a love of sport. Enjoy a scenic journey over national parks that have captivated mountaineers, cyclists, and horse riders, and the historic courts, fields, and courses where crowds cheer on sports such as tennis, golf, cricket, and soccer. We also explore the nation's fascination with horsemanship--from equestrian events to polo, "the sport of kings"--as well as another type of horsepower: motorsports.
