Shamley Green sits in the Surrey Hills National Landscape, roughly five miles south of Guildford on the B2128. The village is structurally defined by its two large open greens - Lords Hill and the central Green - which give the settlement a spacious, airy feel rarely found in more compact Surrey villages. Historically, it was a productive agricultural community, and much of its character still derives from the mix of tile-hung cottages and converted farm buildings that line the lanes. For daily needs, the village maintains a small general store and post office near the central green, along with two long-standing pubs, The Red Lion and The Bricklayers Arms. Geographically, it serves as a gateway to the walking and bridleway networks of Blackheath and Winterfold, while remaining practically connected to the fast rail links and larger amenities of Guildford just a fifteen-minute drive away. It is also well-known for its historic connection to the filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, who lived at Shamley Cottage during the late 1920s.
