Knaphill sits on the western edge of Woking, occupying a stretch of high ground that gives the village its name. It developed significantly in the 19th century, largely due to its proximity to the Basingstoke Canal and the arrival of the nursery industry; for decades, the area was dominated by the Waterer family’s famous rhododendron nurseries, which shaped much of the local landscape. Today, the village retains a distinct sense of separation from the main town, centered around a high street that provides a good mix of independent shops, pubs, and essential services without having to head into the center of Woking. Geographically, it’s well-placed for those who appreciate open space, with the heathlands of Brookwood and Horsell Common nearby, providing some of the best walking routes in this part of Surrey. While it has grown considerably with modern housing, the heart of the village still feels grounded in its Victorian roots, offering a practical, self-contained place to live with straightforward connections to the M3 and the mainline station at Brookwood.
