Alfold is a small, rural village and civil parish in the borough of Waverley, in the county of Surrey in England, lying on the edge of The Weald close to the West Sussex border. The landscape is a mix of farmland, commons and pockets of heath, with a network of lanes and scattered hamlets rather than a single dense centre, giving it a quietly pastoral character.
Historically agricultural with a number of timber‑framed cottages and farmsteads, the village now combines traditional farming with residents who commute to nearby towns such as Guildford and beyond; locally there remains an active community life centred on the village hall, pub and small clubs and events that keep a strong sense of place.
