Leigh is a small rural village in the district of Mole Valley in Surrey, England, tucked into rolling farmland and pockets of woodland on the edge of the Surrey Hills AONB. Its tranquil lanes and traditional cottages give it a distinctly village feel while being within easy reach of market towns such as Dorking and Reigate and commuter routes into London.
The local character remains shaped by agriculture and historic buildings - a parish church, a village pub and converted barns are typical - and the social mix includes long‑standing farming families alongside people who have moved in for country living within reach of town amenities. As with much of Mole Valley, leisure and tourism linked to walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside sit alongside the quieter, everyday rhythms of village life.
