The ward covers the villages of Brockham, Betchworth, Buckland, Box Hill and Headley in the largely rural Mole Valley district of Surrey, England. It sits on the chalk ridge of the North Downs above the valley of the River Mole, so landscapes range from steep wooded escarpments to heath and farmland; Box Hill in particular is National Trust countryside famous for panoramic views and a cycling climb used in the London 2012 Olympic road race.
The villages combine picturesque historic centres, churches and country houses with working farms, small local businesses and a significant commuter population drawn to nearby towns and London; tourism around Box Hill and outdoor recreation are important to the local economy. Social life is lively for a rural area, with village clubs, walking groups and seasonal events, while traces of past industry such as small quarries and former estate sites sit alongside conservation areas and the well‑known former rehabilitation centre at Headley Court.
