Free countryside parking at 7th Furlong for Downs access
7th Furlong Car Park is a free Surrey County Council-operated gravel lot located at the 7th Furlong turn on the Epsom Downs. It offers 60 marked bays including four disabled-access spaces positioned closest to the access gate. Operating hours are sunriseĀsunset daily; no parking fees or time restrictions apply. The gravel surface is graded quarterly to ensure proper drainage, and any washouts are filled within 48 hours.

Pedestrian pathways lead directly to the Epsom Downs walking trails (2 minutesĀ walk) and to the Downs Link bridleways.

Monthly litter clearance and seasonal vegetation management maintain a tranquil environment for walkers and horse racing attendees.
