The small village of Shamley Green sits in the borough of Waverley in Surrey, England. Tucked into the rolling woodlands of the Surrey Hills, it centres on a broad village green and common fringed by thatched and timber‑framed cottages; much of the village is a designated conservation area, giving a very rural, picture‑postcard feel despite reasonable road and rail links to nearby Guildford.
Historically agricultural, Shamley Green today combines a quiet residential character with an active community life - local pubs, a village hall and regular fêtes and clubs - and an economy that is largely domestic and service‑based, with many residents commuting further afield. The lanes, historic buildings and surrounding countryside make it popular for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits.
