Farleigh Castle circuit, at the other end of the Iford estate from the manor, hosted Round 6 of this year's Maxxis British MotoCross Championship. Seen amongst 'aficionados' as one of the great natural tracks (the track has been in annual use since 1936, so it's something of a grandfather in the sporting heirarchy!), old-school riding styles were required to negotiate the challenging terrain, bumps and steep terraces.

Judging by their attire, a few of the large crowd that attended the weekend event from all over the UK and Europe also took the time to walk over to the tearoom at Iford along the riverside footpath, where they found, hopefully to their satisfaction, something of a contrast from the petrol fuelled excitement at Farleigh!
