Tadworth is a large suburban village in Surrey in the south-east of the Epsom Downs, part of the North Downs. It forms part of the Borough of Reigate and also Banstead. At the 2001 census Tadworth had a population of 9,522. Neighbouring negotiations consist of Walton-on-the-Hill, Kingswood, Epsom, Burgh Heath, Banstead, Reigate. Tadworth lay within the Copthorne hundred, a management division created by the Saxons and later on adopted by the Normans. There are no watercourses draining pipes the area as the chalk easily takes in water on the Downs. The Tattenham Corner Branch Line creates a deep, rounded cutting running past yards in the centre of the village as it looks to the racecourse to the north, and also gets here from a passage quickly southern of the Tadworth Roundabout protecting the carefully wooded health there. The village joins in its north-west corner the top of Langley Vale, covered by the Iron Age enclosure in South Tadworth Farm. Epsom Downs Racecourse is house to The Derby and develops an adjoining growth with the Tattenhams, a ward containing: the areas of Great Tattenhams in the north by Nork, Banstead; Little Tattenhams as well as Tattenham Corner.
