Tadworth
Tadworth is a large rural town in Surrey in the south-east of the Epsom Downs, part of the North Downs. It forms part of the District of Reigate as well as Banstead. At the 2001 census Tadworth had a population of 9,522. Neighbouring settlements consist of Walton-on-the-Hill, Kingswood, Epsom, Burgh Heath, Banstead, Reigate. Tadworth lay within the Copthorne hundred, an administrative department developed by the Saxons and later on adopted by the Normans. There are no watercourses draining pipes the area as the chalk quickly soaks up water on the Downs. The Tattenham Corner Branch Line develops a deep, rounded cutting running past gardens in the centre of the town as it relies on the racecourse to the north, as well as arrives from a tunnel promptly south of the Tadworth Roundabout protecting the delicately wooded heath there. The village joins in its north-west corner the top of Langley Vale, topped by the Iron Age enclosure in South Tadworth Farm. Epsom Downs Racecourse is house to The Derby and develops an adjoining advancement with the Tattenhams, a ward consisting of: the neighbourhoods of Great Tattenhams in the north by Nork, Banstead; Little Tattenhams and Tattenham Corner.
