This ancient town takes its
name from a Saxon word meaning lone tree and, as
unlikely as it might seem, the ancient trunk of
this tree still survives.
The town, however, is famous as the place where
the Grand National has been run each spring since
1839.
Red Rum, the legendary triple winner of the race,
is buried next to the winning post at Aintree
racecourse.
