Shalford is a village in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, England, lying roughly two miles south‑east of the town centre. It sits beside the River Wey at the foot of the North Downs, which gives it a pleasant mix of riverside and downland scenery.
The village has a long rural history tied to milling and agriculture, and the old Shalford Mill and several listed buildings reflect that past; today it feels like a well‑preserved commuter village with local shops, pubs and active community groups. Its combination of historic character, accessible countryside walks and easy links to Guildford and London makes it popular with families and people seeking country living close to urban amenities.
