"The archetypal English village green, flanked by attractive buildings, a couple of pubs and often hosting cricket matches. Lovely spot for a walk to the two medieval bridges crossing the river Wey."
Andrew Thomas
"Such a beautiful spot. Very picturesque - the subject of many an advert on TV - with its cricket pitch, lovely pub, river frontage, and classic architecture.
An idyllic way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in the summer, whether you enjoy cricket or not, walking in the woods or on Hankley Common, paddling in the river, or having a drink at the Barley Mow or Duke of Cambridge."
Mike Mackenzie
"A beautiful green flanked by the River Wey shown here in full flood. The green has village cricket in the summer, so park your car carefully to avoid stray cricket balls. There is a small free car park next to the green, street parking and some small free car parks outside of the village in walking distance. The pub, The Cricketters, has a separate fresh pizza business to one side as well as bar food. It has outside seating too. Away from the green are some footpaths to explore as well."
