Dockenfield is a small rural parish in the Borough of Waverley, in Surrey, England, sitting right on the county boundary with Hampshire and just a short walk from Frensham Common and the popular Frensham Ponds. The landscape is dominated by heathland, pine woods and lakes, making it a magnet for walkers, birdwatchers and watersports enthusiasts and giving the area a strong sense of countryside conservation.
Locally the community remains small and largely residential, with a village‑scale social life, active local groups and a mix of farming, equestrian activity and people who commute into nearby towns such as Farnham and Godalming. Its low‑density development, historic boundary position and proximity to protected commons shape both the character and planning priorities of the parish.
