Dorking South

The ward of Dorking South sits on the southern edge of Dorking in the district of Mole Valley, Surrey, England. It covers mainly residential streets that rise towards the chalk of the North Downs, with easy access to the open downland and popular walking and cycling routes around Box Hill; the River Mole threads through the lower-lying parts nearby.

Locally the area feels like a mix of commuter suburbia and historic market‑town character, with independent shops, traditional pubs and post‑Victorian houses alongside some later developments; many residents travel into central London by rail from nearby stations. There’s a strong community focus on local events and green spaces, while green‑belt and conservation protections help keep the surrounding countryside relatively intact.
