Capel is a largely rural civil parish in the district of Mole Valley, Surrey, in south‑east England, sitting a few miles from Dorking and incorporating hamlets such as Beare Green. The parish lies on the edge of the Surrey Hills AONB and is characterised by rolling farmland, wooded copses and a scattering of houses rather than a single built‑up centre.
Its history stretches back to the medieval period, reflected in the parish church and a legacy of small‑scale agriculture and hop‑growing; today the local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and commuters drawn to nearby towns. Community life centres on the village hall and local pubs, and the area is popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the lanes and countryside of the Surrey Hills.
