About
Sandown Park belongs near the top of any Esher things-to-do file because it is central to the town's wider identity. The Jockey Club's visitor information makes clear that it is a full-scale racecourse and events venue, not just a name on a map, with a regular calendar and a proper spectator experience.\n\nIt is not an everyday attraction in the same way as Claremont, but its reputation and prominence are too strong to ignore in a best-of batch.
