Godalming Farncombe & Catteshall is a mixed residential and riverside ward in Waverley, Surrey, England, sitting in the shallow valley of the River Wey. It blends a compact historic town centre with quieter suburban streets and small industrial and business estates around Farncombe and Catteshall, and enjoys easy access to greenbelt and the rolling slopes of the nearby Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The area has a long working history tied to the river and former mills and was an early adopter of public electricity in the 1880s; today it’s a thriving local centre with independent shops, markets, a museum and regular community events. Many residents commute to Guildford or London Waterloo, while riverside walks, towpaths and community facilities give the ward a strong village‑style social feel despite its commuter links.
