Shackleford is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, England. It occupies a patchwork of farmland, commons and mixed woodland on the fringes of the Surrey countryside, and retains a compact centre of timber‑framed cottages and stone houses clustered around a medieval parish church.
The local economy is largely residential and agricultural, with many people commuting into Guildford or London, while village life revolves around a village hall, an annual fete and active clubs for walkers and equestrians; the network of footpaths and commons makes it popular with walkers and birdwatchers and several listed buildings and historic lanes hint at its long history.
