Lovely big park and a great place for a walk. Free parking. Little cafe with essentials for lunch. Will definitely make this a regular place for visits with the family.

Epsom Common

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

It is strange to look at a map of Epsom Common and see that there is a circular area of housing in the centre. The history is that, from around 1700, this was one of England's earliest spas, focused on the well which still exists in this unlikely location. The origins of the spa at Epsom, and of Epsom Salts go back to 1618 when a farmer called Henry Wicker discovered the water source, which his cattle would not drink from, and the water became famous for its therapeutic properties. Further wells followed, plus other new buildings such as the Assembly Rooms, which still exists as a pub in Epsom itself. From the late 1600's, Epsom Salts were readily available in chemists and other shops and gradually the spa declined, with the well here to remind us of this piece of history. Epsom Common itself it a natural wildlife habitat focused on a number of ponds and goes back many centuries as common land. On the edge of the Common is Christ Church designed by the architect Arthur Blomfield and consecrated on Wednesday 18 October 1876 by the Bishop of Winchester.

Rosebury Park

Reviewed By tripploso - Epsom, United Kingdom

One of Epsom's great features is its open space policy, there are 5-6 parks around Epsom town centre of which Roseberry is the biggest. It may not have a café, toilets or any other facilities but as it is only 5 minutes from the centre, it really doesn't need them. There is a well maintained children play area, flowers bed, a pond (being refurbished) and a lot of nicely cut grass to laze about on. Very popular with all on sunny days, there is enough space for all. Great place to meet friends, have a picnic, sunbathe and let the kids run around.

Bourne Hall

Reviewed By 284tharar - Epsom, United Kingdom

My family love visiting the library here. If we have enough time, I like to order something to eat and then take a leisurely stroll around the grounds. The ducks are nice too. Additionally on cold days we like to also visit the museum upstairs. Good bunch of activities which are on offer as well such as the exercise classes and the art club. My kids really enjoy the kid friendly activities in half term and the library storytime event. This is the perfect place to visit during the winter. There are also events that take place throughout the year like the Craft Fair at Christmas in addition. While it is a bit smaller than the other library in Ewell, it is still technically worth a visit. The staff are always pleasant if you need help. What could be better? Another fun activity to do on a hot day is to try and take photos outside of the ducks on the water. Or you can even try to feed them.
