Shackleford is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, England. It sits on the edge of the rolling countryside of the Surrey Hills, close to the valley of the River Wey, and retains a distinctly rural feel with commons, lanes and hedgerows framing a cluster of historic cottages and farms.
The village has a quiet, conservation-minded character: a medieval parish church and timber‑framed buildings hint at its long history, while the local pub, village hall and equestrian and agricultural activity keep community life active. Many residents commute to Guildford and London, but Shackleford’s strong local identity and scenic surroundings make it popular for those seeking countryside living within easy reach of larger towns.
