Caterham-on-the-Hill is a civil parish in Tandridge, Surrey, England, perched on a chalk ridge above Caterham Valley with long views towards London and the North Downs. The elevated setting gives it a leafy, suburban character and easy access to surrounding countryside, while pockets of open space and greenery set it apart from lower-lying parts of the town.
Historically the area was shaped by a significant military presence - the former Caterham Barracks - and by Victorian and Edwardian development; more recently that heritage has mixed with commuter-driven housing and local retail. The community is family-oriented with a range of schools, sports clubs and independent shops, and the parish’s combination of historic streets, green corridors and convenient transport links makes it a distinctly residential yet well-connected part of Surrey life.
