Ripley is a small, historic village and civil parish in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, set beside the meandering River Wey and surrounded by typical Surrey countryside. The village centres on a green and pond with a cluster of old cottages and listed buildings, giving it a distinctly rural character despite being within easy reach of Guildford, Woking and London by road and rail.
Locally there’s a lively community feel: traditional pubs, a village shop, a primary school and sports clubs contribute to active village life, while conservation area status helps preserve the historic streetscape. The parish draws a mix of long‑standing residents and commuters, and its combination of attractive historic fabric and access to surrounding open space makes it a sought‑after part of Surrey.
