Map of the UK

Headley is a small, largely rural parish in the district of Mole Valley, Surrey, England. Set on mixed chalk and heathland within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it includes open commons and woodland such as Headley Heath, popular with walkers, riders and mountain bikers and offering views across the North Downs.

The village keeps a distinctly rural feel with a parish church, a village cricket club and traditional pubs, and its history includes the well‑known rehabilitation centre at Headley Court, used by the armed services until recent years. Local life is shaped by agriculture and equestrianism alongside a sizable commuting population travelling to London and nearby towns such as Leatherhead and Guildford, so the area combines countryside character with links to urban centres.
