Ockham is a small, largely rural parish in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, England, set amid farmland, ancient woodland and heathland. Much of its character comes from the neighbouring open spaces such as Ockham Common and the nearby gardens at RHS Wisley, which make it popular with walkers, riders and nature-lovers; it also sits comfortably within the outer London commuter belt, so many residents combine country living with city work.
The area has a quietly genteel feel, with a handful of historic estates and a parish church at its core; remnants of the old country house landscape around Ockham Park hint at its longer history. There are few shops or services in the immediate parish, so village life tends to be tied to neighbouring towns and villages such as Cobham and Guildford, giving a mix of farming, conservation and commuter-driven local economy and social life.
