Hawthorn Hill is a hamlet in Berkshire, England, within the civil parish of Warfield. The settlement lies at the junction of the A3095 and A330 roads, and is approximately 3miles north of Bracknell. Hawthorn Hill Racecourse was situated where Bird Hills Golf Centre is today, at the end of the Drift Road. It was built on a farm owned by Sir Robert Wilmot. National Hunt meetings started in 1888 and stopped in 1913. They began again in 1921, and were quite a social event during the Jazz Age. They finally ended in 1939.
