Wanborough is a small, predominantly rural village and civil parish in the borough of Guildford, Surrey, England, sitting on the scarp and slopes of the North Downs. Its landscape of chalk downland, lanes and public footpaths gives it a distinctly countryside feel while being a short drive from larger centres such as Guildford and Farnham, which makes it popular with walkers and people seeking a village base with easy access to town amenities.
The community mixes traditional farming and small local businesses with a commuter population who travel into Guildford or London. The village retains period cottages, a village hall and a parish church, and local life is marked by modest community activities and events rather than any heavy industry, so its character is very much that of a quiet Surrey parish with deep rural roots and attractive open countryside nearby.
