The character of Epsom
Epsom's High Street narrows toward the clock tower and carries a good deal of bus and delivery traffic, with the Ashley Centre car parks the more reliable place for a car to wait. The Downs above the town are open country for most of the year, crossed by roads that carry ordinary traffic until a race meeting closes them. Residential roads around Woodcote and the Nonsuch borders are wide and easy, with genuine kerbside space.
