Cranleigh, often referred to as the 'largest village in England', offers a wealth of amenities, while maintaining the charm of a village community. Cranleigh is located approximately 30 minutes South of Guildford by car. The High Street offers all the local amenities that you would expect - supermarkets, newsagents, bakery, coffee shops and restaurants. For more comprehensive shopping, restaurants, and theatres, the County Town of Guildford is nearby with its mainline station connecting with London Waterloo.

Schools

Cranleigh is well serviced by both the state and private school sector. St Cuthbert Mayne RC Primary School, Cranleigh C of E Primary School and Park Mead Primary School are all well regarded with Glebelands School being the village secondary school.
