Market Towns


In Surrey you will find bustling market towns surrounded by sleepy villages nestled in the Surrey Hills and all just 30 miles south of London – but you could be a world away. Within the county you will find modern shopping malls, cobbled high streets and twisting lanes; high street brands alongside unique crafts, and all just a short distance from Heathrow and Gatwick airports.


Surrey is steeped in history and you will not need to go far to find timber-framed buildings, castle keeps and an abbey ruin. Surrey was the playground of some of England’s medieval monarchs and even many small villages have royal links. The stunning landscape has inspired artists, architects and gardeners for generations and the Arts and Crafts Movement thrived here. Tennyson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Lewis Carroll, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll all spent time in Surrey and much of their work is still evident.


In Guildford, Farnham, Dorking, Godalming, Haslemere, Leatherhead, Cranleigh, Weybridge, Esher and Woking you are never far away from beautiful countryside, offering glimpses of rolling fields, wooded hillsides and glittering waterways.


Surrey is the perfect place to combine a morning browsing in the shops with an afternoon stroll along an idyllic rural trail – you could also take a break at one of the excellent restaurants or cafes where local produce and fair-trade choices are often on the menu.
