Ash and Ash Vale are adjoining villages in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, England, sitting close to the border with Hampshire and the military town of Aldershot. Ash retains a traditional village core with older and Victorian buildings and a village‑green feel, while Ash Vale is more suburban in character and expanded with the arrival of the railways and local industry.
Both benefit from good road and rail connections to Guildford and London, so they are popular with commuters; the local economy mixes small shops, light industry and services. The settlements are backed by heathland and commons used for walking and sit near military training areas, giving a distinctive blend of rural, suburban and military heritage alongside active community groups and schools.
