Rifle Butts Alley

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

"In 1859 an invasion by the French, under the Second Empire of Napoleon III, was widely feared. Volunteer movements of riflemen sprang up all over the country, and Epsom hosted the 8th Corps of the Surrey Rifle Volunteers. They trained in Rifle Butts Alley, beside a long valley leading up to the Downs, and relaxed afterwards at a pub in East Street, still called the Rifleman. In 1881 the volunteers became a territorial detachment of the regular East Surrey Regiment." (eehe.org.uk/?p=33248)

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.

Gravel Path in Horton Country Park

Highlight • Forest

Gravel path with some blind spots around some of the S-bends, so watch out for walkers, dogs, kids, etc. But that won't hamper your progress on this smooth and flat gravel
