Length: 17.25km (10.7 miles)
Toughness 4/10
Catch the 10:08 train from London Victoria, arrives Merstham 10:41.
After lunch it is advised to try and set off at 14:00 or soon after so as to allow adequate time to reach Epsom Downs Racecourse before The Oaks at 16:30. The racecourse is in a public area, so you may watch the Oaks for free.
(Ref. Walk notes "The public footpaths across Epsom Downs Racecourse are kept open on some race days, but since 2016 they have been closed during major events (and for several hours before and after."))
Friday 19th May update: Unfortunately a new RMT day strike has been added for Friday 2nd June. National Rail advise to check the journey closer to the date of travel.
Epsom Derby Friday 2 & Saturday 3 June.
There will be NO train service at Tattenham Corner, Epsom Downs or Epsom on either day. These stations will be closed.
Industrial action will affect travel to the Epsom Derby Festival
Really unfortunate for those who are attending the days races; for us it is after all just a walk with the added bonus of catching the Oaks.
