The recorded history of Epsom Common, Surrey's largest local nature reserve, goes back to Saxon times, when England was a feudal agricultural society and local people grazed animals on the land. Over the last century, the landscape has changed dramatically due to changing lifestyles and it's now predominantly woodland.
Epsom Downs is best known as the home of the Epsom Downs Racecourse and the prestigious Epsom Derby horse race.
Nonsuch Park is a large open leisure space with an extensive network of surfaced and unsurfaced paths. It is home to a variety of different species of flowers, birds and insects. Situated in its centre is the grade II-listed Nonsuch Mansion, which was built in the mid-eighteenth century and extended at the beginning of the nineteenth in Tudor Gothic style. The park was once home to the very grand Nonsuch Palace built by Henry VIII in 1538, but this was demolished in 1682.
Between Epsom, Ewell and Chessington, Horton Country Park is a local nature reserve covering 150 hectares, parts of which are used as a golf course, a children’s adventure farm (Hobbledown) and an equestrian centre. It’s a patchwork of fields, hedgerows, woods and ponds and considered to be of great wildlife and historical interest.
