The Carlisle Bells have earned their place in history as the oldest sporting trophy in the world. Dating back to 1559, when the coveted bells were first awarded, this prize originated in Cumbria, England. The Bells were kept at Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery in Carlisle but since then they have moved to Newmarket and will go on a 500-mile round trip each year for the race.
