Boscobel House is a Grade II* listed building in the parish of Boscobel in Shropshire.

Today it is managed by English Heritage.

This is the UK's first all-weather floodlit horse racetrack, so it has flat-racing year-round, mostly in the evening, often mid-week. It's an artificial "Tapeta" surface; they don't have jumps races here.
