Cranleigh Area Guide

As the self-proclaimed “biggest village in England” Cranleigh certainly has a lot to offer – the perfect mix of country life but with the convenience of a busy high street, a treasure trove of independent shops and bustling cafes. Cranleigh Arts Centre is in the heart of village, offering the best of live music and theatre – and for those who prefer the outdoors Cranleigh has amazing nature walks, vineyards and horse-riding trails.

Families are spoilt for choice when it comes to schools in Cranleigh – including Cranleigh Church of England Primary School, Park Mead Primary School and Glebelands School. Cranleigh School is set on 280 acres on the edge of the village, offering both day school and boarding, with Cranleigh Prep close by.


Located between Guildford and Horsham, in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Cranleigh is just 15 minutes from Guildford railway station, where trains take 35 minutes to get to London Waterloo.
