Nestled in the Mole Valley between Dorking and Reigate, Brockham is a village defined by its geography, situated at the foot of the North Downs near where the River Mole cuts through the chalk hills. It is best known for its expansive village green, which remains the heart of the community and serves as the setting for one of the country’s most traditional bonfire nights. Historically, the area was shaped by the hearthstone mines that ran deep into the hills - remnants of which can still be found at the nearby Brockham Limeworks, now a designated nature reserve. The village retains a practical layout, with a local shop, a primary school, and a couple of pubs, while the path along the river provides a direct walking route toward the neighbouring village of Betchworth. Life here is governed by the landscape; the steep climb of Box Hill overlooks the village to the north, providing a weathered, permanent backdrop to a place that has managed to keep its distinct character despite its proximity to London.
