Sandy Cross is a small, quiet hamlet within the Borough of Guildford in Surrey, England, set among rolling farmland and mixed woodlands that are typical of the wider Surrey Hills landscape. The settlement has a rural feel, with narrow lanes, historic cottages and a patchwork of fields and copses rather than high streets or large commercial centres.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural and residential, with many people commuting into nearby towns such as Guildford and Godalming or further afield to London. The name hints at its origins - sandy soils and a crossroads - and social life tends to revolve around parish events and village activities, making it a peaceful choice for those seeking countryside living within reach of urban amenities.
