Middleham High Moor gallops The view across the gallops towards Penhill. All is quiet here at lunchtime on a summer day, but come this way in the early morning and there will be the thunder of hooves as the racehorses gallop by.
Altitude Training Looking over the gallops on Middleham High Moor to Melmerby Moor beyond. Surprisingly, the gallops are a thousand feet above sea level.
