Kentucky is all about good looks. For starters, it boasts George Clooney, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise as adopted sons. You may be able to spot them mingling in with all the other celebs who flock to the Kentucky Derby, America’s favourite and biggest horserace at the Churchill Downs. Just park your car in the lot, bumper to bumper, and enjoy a bloody Mary at the fabled race-day “tailgate parties”.

You can swap star treatment for spa treatment, as well. Especially at the award-winning 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, which boasts some serious contemporary art and sumptuous pampering packages, notably its ‘Ménage-a-spa package’.

Kentucky boasts natural beauty, too, all 40,000 square miles of it. Be it the rolling bluegrass hills, the vast, sprawling lakes or the awe-inspiring celestial beauty of meteor showers and moonbows. just get into the car and ride any of the fabled scenic routes Kentucky offers.

For the more sporty and energetic, there’s oodles of horseback trails and riding holidays on the state’s myriad horse farms. If you can’t ride, then learn – thousands do! In most states, you learn to drive, in Kentucky, you learn to ride.

For urban chic, trawl the boutiques, stores and galleries of Louisville, and it’s burgeoning boho quarter. Or try the Bourbon Drive-in Cinema in Paris, from early spring to late autumn or sample the delights of America’s fast-growing bluegrass scene, in Paris. That’s Paris, Kentucky, of course.
