The track was constructed on the East coast of England on the north side of the estuary of the River Blyth between Blyth and Ashington on the North Sea coast.[1]
The Cambois colliery used to be on the site before it was closed in 1968.[2] The track had race distances of 247, 412 and 587 metres and closed and re-opened several times since its opening.
Today it is only used as a rearing and schooling track having last held races in 2012.
