The village of Charlwood sits in the Mole Valley district of Surrey, England, set on gently rolling countryside around a traditional village green and common beside the River Mole. It lies close to the county boundary with Sussex and to Gatwick Airport, which has a noticeable influence on local life and planning debates.
Historically agricultural, Charlwood retains a compact conservation area with timber‑framed houses and an old parish church, while the local economy is a mix of farming, commuting and airport‑related jobs. The community is lively for its size, centred on the cricket green, village hall and annual events, and residents are often active in protecting the commons and green‑belt character of the area while benefiting from relatively easy access to London.
