The area covering Capel, Leigh, Newdigate and Charlwood sits on the largely rural western edge of Mole Valley in Surrey, England. It is made up of small villages, farmland, commons and pockets of ancient woodland, with a network of public footpaths and bridleways that make it popular with walkers, riders and cyclists; parts of the landscape lie on the fringes of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Locally the character is historic and village‑centred, with medieval churches, timber‑framed cottages, village halls and pubs still playing a big social role, while agriculture and small local businesses form much of the economy. Proximity to Gatwick Airport and good road links means many residents commute to nearby towns or London, so the area combines quiet rural life with the practicalities and occasional impacts of a busy transport hub.
