Chobham in Surrey Heath, Surrey, England is a small village notable for its setting beside the extensive lowland heath of Chobham Common, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and National Nature Reserve. The open sandy heaths and acid grassland support rare habitats and wildlife, creating a distinctive landscape that is unusual in the London commuter belt and popular for walking, horse riding and informal recreation.
The village itself still centres on a traditional green, historic buildings and a medieval parish church, and feels distinctly rural despite being within easy reach of Woking and Camberley. It functions as a commuter base while keeping active local shops, pubs, schools and sports clubs, and there is a strong local interest in history and conservation so community life mixes village fetes and equestrian activity with everyday commuter rhythms.
