TQ2157 : Walton Road on Six Mile Hill

taken 2 years ago, near to Tadworth, Surrey, England

Walton Road on Six Mile Hill
Walton Road on Six Mile Hill
Walton Road on the ascent of Six Mile Hill or Walton Downs. The road here crosses the Winter Ground, one of the training gallops on the downs — this lower part of the hill is used for training during the winter months. During those months, when the Winter Ground is in use, wood chips will be put down across the carriageway to facilitate the passage of race horses in training — in which case, other road users must watch out!

Walton Road is a partly unsealed minor public road across Epsom Downs, from the Rubbing House near the Queen's Stand, south-east to the foot of Ebbisham Lane; motor traffic is prohibited under a traffic regulation order, except on race days.
