Middle Hill seen from Langley Vale Road. Most of the downland seen here is open to horse riding, and all of it is accessible on foot. On the far side of the valley, between the two lines of hedges, is the old alignment of the racecourse. To its left is Middle Hill, an area available to 'hack riders' (those who ride horses other than race horses in training) and much favoured for fast canter work owing to the lengthy upward incline and long grass; the grassland in the foreground is also a hack area. The far end of the racecourse can just be seen at top right: this is where the Derby Stakes begin each June.
