Rifle Butts Alley

Rifle Butts Alley is a public bridleway, Epsom & Ewell 44, which leads from Burgh Heath Road, across Treadwell Road and past the end of Beech Road, up to Epsom Downs. Another bridleway, Epsom & Ewell 44, branches off from below Treadwell Road to reach Downs Road opposite the junction with Downs Hill Road. The area was used in the late C19 for shooting practice, but the range was abandoned when Grand Stand Road was laid out across the downs above. Rifle Butts Alley is a pleasant walk up to the downs away from the traffic. On Derby Day each year, it is greatly used as a means of access to the races by local people. The bridleway above Treadwell Road was reinstated to its original width in January 2022.
