'Epsom Downs' is an area of chalk upland near Epsom, Surrey[1]; it lies along the North Downs. Part of the area is used for the racecourse, the rest is used by such people as ramblers, model aircraft flyers, golfers and cyclists. Indeed there are over 20km of routeways for hack riders.[2] There are bylaws for the use of the Downs.[3] There are panoramic views of London to the north from the Downs.

Conservators


Epsom Downs is managed by a body called 'Epsom and Walton Downs Conservators' which consists of six borough councillors, three representatives of the Epsom Downs Racecourse and one from the racehorse trainers. They are responsible for the maintenance and control of the Downs and the cost of this is split in the same proportion as the representation. The Conservators were set up in 1984 to give a voice to the users of the downs.[4]
