Doctor has prescription for success

Dr Richard Newland seems to be one of those rare people who would achieve in whichever field they set their mind to and the residents of Claines are grateful his passion happens to be for horse racing.

Linacres Farm lies along Egg Lane, as predictably rural, narrow and winding as it sounds like it might be, and the nearby village is essentially known only for having a particularly curious pub.

Situated just three miles from the city of Worcester, Claines is now also home to the Grand National winner Pineau De Re.
