The grassland of Newmarket's training grounds has been developed over hundreds of years of careful maintenance, and is generally regarded as some of the finest in the world. "Racecourse side" is located next to the [[Rowley Mile]] Racecourse and is a predominately flat area. "Warren Hill" overlooks the town and consists of three all-weather canters and a multitude of grass canters. "Bury Side" is the name given to the area located near the Bury Road and the railway line. These areas and the surrounding [[heath (habitat)|heath]] is [[chalk]] downland and has special [[bird]]s and [[animal]]s only suited to this terrain. It is also a very historical area with the remains of 6th century living.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.luphen.org.uk/walks/stour_valley/01_newmarket.htm|title=Stour Valley Path: Newmarket Racecourse to Little Bradley|website=www.luphen.org.uk|access-date=28 March 2018}}</ref> This hill is part of the chalk formation the [[Newmarket Ridge]]. The town has {{convert|50|mi|km}} of turf gallops and over {{convert|14|mi|km}} of artificial track.

Most of the Newmarket-based racing stables are situated in the centre of the town, where they can easily access the gallops. The town has special horse routes so the horses can reach the gallops safely from the many training establishments occupied by top trainers. Many of the world's most successful trainers are based in Newmarket, [[Sir Michael Stoute]] who is based at Freemason Lodge, [[John Gosden]], based at Clarehaven Stables, [[Saeed bin Suroor]], based at Stanley House Stables and [[Charlie Appleby (racehorse trainer)|Charlie Appleby]] based at Moulton Paddocks. Millions of pounds of prize money are won by these trainers alone around the world each year. Many of the horses they train are worth over £1 million, with some of the finest being worth between £5 million and £50 million or higher. Outside the town the land-use is dominated by [[Thoroughbred horse|thoroughbred]] [[Horse breeding|breeding]], studs occupying large areas in every direction. Around seventy licensed trainers and more than sixty stud farms operate in and around Newmarket.<ref name="newmarketracecourses.co.uk">[http://www.newmarketracecourses.co.uk newmarketracecourses.co.uk], introductory page, accessed 16 September 2006.</ref>
