Witley is a civil parish in the borough of Waverley, in Surrey, England, set on the rolling heath and mixed woodland of the Surrey Hills. The parish includes stretches of common and heathland - often thought of as typical Surrey countryside - with nearby features such as Witley Common and the more dramatic slopes towards the Devil's Punch Bowl at Hindhead, and it sits between the small market towns of Godalming and Haslemere.
Witley combines a quiet village character with good commuter links via Witley railway station on the Portsmouth Direct Line towards London Waterloo and Portsmouth, and has a local mix of Victorian and older houses, village amenities and active community groups. The area also has pockets of interesting history and grand estate remnants - notably the nearby Witley Park with its ornamental lakes and past landscaping fame - making it popular with walkers, commuters and those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle within easy reach of the capital.
