Ascot is a well established suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, characterised by large Queenslander homes. Ascot is 7 kilometres (4 mi) from Brisbane's city centre. Ascot is perhaps locally best known for its beautiful old homes, the picturesque poinciana tree lined shopping area of Racecourse Road, and for the Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses popular for racing carnivals. Over a third of Ascot is taken up by Doomben and its related outer buildings, Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses.
