Walton Road on Six Mile Hill Walton Road on the ascent of Six Mile Hill or Walton Downs. The road here crosses the Winter Ground, one of the training gallops on the downs — this lower part of the hill is used for training during the winter months. During those months, when the Winter Ground is in use, wood chips will be put down across the carriageway to facilitate the passage of race horses in training — in which case, other road users must watch out!
