- Dog Notes:
Epsom Downs in Surrey is a very popular place for dog walking, offering vast open spaces for dogs to run and explore. Dogs can often be off-lead on the open downland, but ensure they have excellent recall and are kept under very close control due to the frequent presence of racehorses training at speed on the gallops (dogs MUST be on leads and well away from gallops when horses are present – heed all signage and local bylaws). Also be mindful of other walkers, cyclists, and roads that border the downs. Please clean up after your dog. There are no specific water sources on the downs, so bring water for your dog, especially on warmer days when visiting this Surrey spot.
