Pirbright is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Guildford, county of Surrey, England. It sits amid heathland, pine woodland and farmland, giving a distinctly rural feel while remaining within commuting distance of Woking and London.
The village is most notable for Pirbright Camp, a long‑established military training area, and the nearby Pirbright Institute, a veterinary research centre that is one of the area’s larger employers. Community life centres on a village green, the parish church and local clubs, with walking on the commons and occasional village events reflecting a mix of traditional rural life, military presence and scientific activity.
