Ashtead is a suburban village in the district of Mole Valley in Surrey, England, sitting on the slopes of the North Downs a few miles south of Epsom and close to Leatherhead. It has a strong commuter character with a railway station providing regular services into central London, a compact high street of independent shops and cafés, and predominantly residential neighbourhoods set within the Metropolitan Green Belt.
The village is perhaps best known for Ashtead Common, an ancient woodland and nature reserve prized for veteran pollarded oaks, wildflowers and walking trails, and the area has produced evidence of Roman occupation, reflecting a long local history. Community life is active with sports clubs, conservation groups and local events, and the blend of green space and good transport links makes it a sought‑after place to live.
