Tweseldown Racecourse southeast of Fleet, Hampshire was originally a National Hunt steeplechasing venue and the home of the equestrian dressage and eventing competitions in the 1948 Summer Olympics.[http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1948/OR1948.pdf 1948 Summer Olympics official report.] pp. 44-5.

Until 2012 the venue hosted Point to point racing. Lack of funds caused the owners to cease racing after the 2012 season.{{cite web |last1=Mathieson |first1=Amy |title=Finances force closure of Tweseldown racecourse |url=https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/racing/finances-force-closure-of-tweseldown-racecourse-313867 |publisher=Horse and Hound |access-date=6 May 2022 |date=23 August 2012}}
