Chipstead and Woodmansterne

Chipstead and Woodmansterne are neighbouring villages in the borough of Reigate and Banstead, in Surrey, England. Chipstead sits in a wooded valley on the North Downs and retains a largely rural character with chalk grassland on Chipstead Downs and views towards Banstead Downs, while Woodmansterne lies closer to the Croydon boundary and has a more suburban mix of post‑war housing and small local shops.

Both villages form part of the wider London commuter belt and combine an affluent, community‑minded lifestyle - village pubs, a cricket club, riding stables and conservation areas protect historic houses and hedgerowed lanes - with easy access to greenbelt walking and decent transport links into the capital.
