With a long and illustrious history, Cowdray Park is recognised worldwide as the Home of British Polo. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within Viscount Cowdray’s 16,000-acre estate in West Sussex, the game of polo has been played at Cowdray for over a century with the first competitive tournaments being recorded in 1910. By the 1920s, a series of competitions with dedicated cups and trophies was firmly established, although the sport in the UK was to all but die out during the Second World War.
