Shere Village
A true chocolate-box village with a timeless feel. Think winding lanes, a 12th-century church, independant shops and a gentle stream running through the heart of it. Shere has featured in films like The Holiday and Bridget Jones, and it's not hard to see why.
- St James' Church dating back to the 1100's and features in many Hollywood films!
- Shere Museum which is small but packed with local charm.
- Shopping in the village to browse antiques, handmade gifts and local art.
- Plentiful rambling trails through fords, across paddocks and fields and if you head past the Church to the right, you'll stumble across the location of Iris' cottage in The Holiday!
The Surrey Hills AONB
Step straight from the pub onto the trails that wind through rolling hills, ancient woodland and open meadows. The Bray is the perfect base for walking, cycling and even horse riding in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
