Ascot is a place?! I never knew that. I just know the race course and the tie.
Welcome from the American southwest!
Yes it is a real place although the racecourse is probably 50% of the land mass.
I have toured the American southwest on a road trip from Denver to Phoenix via Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Las Vegas to name just the big cities, and visiting Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest... It was all spectacular and lots of happy memories.
