Dockenfield is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Waverley, Surrey, on the county boundary with Hampshire in south‑east England. It sits amid heathland and pinewoods, close to Frensham Common and the Frensham ponds, with Alice Holt Forest not far away, so the area is popular for walking, birdwatching and other outdoor pursuits.
Historically a quiet, agricultural settlement, Dockenfield retains a cluster of older cottages and a strong village feel while today being largely residential with some equestrian and small local businesses. Its proximity to towns such as Farnham and Guildford means many residents commute, but the parish still feels distinctly rural and tranquil.
