Steeped in history with cobbled streets and twisting lanes, our market towns and villages showcase beautiful timber-framed buildings, castle keeps and abbey ruins. 

Surrey was the playground of some of England’s medieval monarchs and even small hamlets have royal links.  The charming landscape has also attracted and inspired artists from the literary and musical worlds, as well as names famous for architecture and gardening.

Even in the middle of town, you’re never far from the countryside, glimpsing views of rolling fields, wooded hillsides or glittering waterways.  Why not combine a morning’s browsing our specialist shops or market stalls with a stroll along an idyllic rural trail?
