Forest Green is a small rural settlement in Mole Valley, Surrey, England, lying a short distance from the market town of Dorking. Set amid rolling countryside on the fringes of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the River Mole, its name reflects historic woodland and common land that once dominated the area.
Today it is largely residential with a handful of farms and small businesses, and many residents commute to London or nearby towns; local life tends to revolve around walking, cycling and village amenities. Historic cottages and rural lanes survive, and proximity to attractions such as Box Hill keeps it popular with visitors seeking countryside within easy reach of the capital.
