About

Epsom Downs & Common is a large expanse of open chalk downland and woodland. The area is dominated by the famous racecourse, home to the Derby, which shapes the landscape with its grandstands and sweeping track. Wide, open spaces are crisscrossed by paths used by walkers, riders, and cyclists, offering long views across the surrounding countryside.

The land is a mix of grassland, scrub, and wooded areas, managed for both recreation and conservation. A network of quiet roads and car parks provides access to the common, which remains a working environment with grazing animals. The most distinctive landmark is the racecourse's iconic grandstand, a permanent fixture overlooking the historic turf where the Derby has been run for centuries.
