Chilworth is a small village in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, set on the edge of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It sits beside the River Tillingbourne amid woodlands and chalk downland, and its proximity to the A3 and Guildford rail and road links makes it convenient for commuters to London while retaining a distinctly rural feel.
The village has a notable industrial past, once home to gunpowder mills on the river whose remnants add historic interest, and today blends period cottages with more recent housing and a small science/technology business area. Local life is quietly community-focused, centred on a village hall, church and pubs, with easy access to walking routes and countryside recreation across the Surrey Hills.
