ABOUT THIS AREA
Dunsfold sits at the heart of the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village itself is a conservation area of great charm, centred around the medieval church of St Mary and All Saints, one of the finest thirteenth century churches in Surrey. The surrounding landscape is one of ancient woodlands, sunken lanes, common land and far-reaching views, with miles of footpaths and bridleways on the doorstep.

The nearby town of Godalming offers an excellent range of everyday amenities including independent shops, restaurants and a thriving market town character. Guildford, some twelve miles distant, provides more extensive shopping, restaurants and mainline rail services to London Waterloo. The A3 provides swift access to London and the south coast. The area is exceptionally well served for schooling, with a superb range of independent options including Charterhouse, Prior's Field, Cranleigh and St Catherine's, as well as excellent state provision. Locally there is polo at Cowdray Park and Hurtwood, with horse racing at Goodwood, Epsom and Sandown.
