Tadworth is a large rural village in Surrey in the south-east of the Epsom Downs, part of the North Downs. It creates part of the Borough of Reigate and also Banstead. At the 2001 census Tadworth had a population of 9,522. Neighbouring settlements include Walton-on-the-Hill, Kingswood, Epsom, Burgh Heath, Banstead, Reigate. Tadworth lay within the Copthorne hundred, a management division developed by the Saxons and later embraced by the Normans. There are no gutters draining pipes the location as the chalk easily soaks up water on the Downs. The Tattenham Corner Branch Line creates a deep, curved cutting running past gardens in the centre of the town as it resorts to the racecourse to the north, as well as shows up from a passage right away south of the Tadworth Roundabout preserving the gently wooded heath there. The town joins in its north-west edge the top of Langley Vale, topped by the Iron Age room in South Tadworth Farm. Epsom Downs Racecourse is home to The Derby and develops a contiguous advancement with the Tattenhams, a ward including: the neighbourhoods of Great Tattenhams in the north by Nork, Banstead; Little Tattenhams as well as Tattenham Corner.
