St Martha is a small, mostly rural civil parish in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, England, tucked onto the scarp of the North Downs. Its most recognisable landmark is St Martha's Hill with the little hilltop church that looks out over the Vale of Guildford and the Surrey Hills AONB; the spot is popular with walkers using the North Downs Way and visitors heading to nearby Newlands Corner and Chilworth.
The parish keeps a quiet, village character with pockets of chalk downland, ancient woodland and smallholdings rather than large commercial centres, so many residents commute into Guildford or London for work. Socially and historically the hilltop church has long been a local focal point, and conservation and walking remain important to community life, with volunteers and visitors helping maintain paths and wildlife interest in the area.
