The ward covers the rural villages of Elstead and Peper Harow in Waverley, Surrey, England, sitting on the edge of the Surrey Hills. It’s characterised by rolling farmland, river meadows along the River Wey and nearby heathland such as Thursley Common, with popular walking and riding routes; Elstead retains a small high street, village green and local pubs that act as community hubs.
Peper Harow is largely defined by its private estate and parkland with an historic manor and parish church, while the local economy remains a mix of agriculture, small businesses and commuters travelling to Guildford and London. Community life is active - sports clubs, village fetes and conservation groups are prominent - giving the area a blend of heritage, rural industry and outdoor recreation.
