The civil parish of Salfords and Sidlow sits within the borough of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey, England, occupying a mix of suburban village and open countryside on the edge of the North Downs. The River Mole and surrounding green belt farmland give the area a rural feel even as it remains conveniently close to commuter hubs and Gatwick Airport, with nearby towns such as Reigate and Redhill within easy reach.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the two communities now combine village amenities, pockets of light industry and small business estates with residential streets dating from the Victorian and inter‑war periods. Sidlow retains a quieter, more dispersed character with farms and country lanes, while Salfords is more built up; locally there are active village halls, pubs and walking routes, and a strong sense of community centred on events and conservation of the surrounding countryside.
