Welcome to Holmbury St Mary

Holmbury St Mary is a picturesque village located in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is surrounded by stunning countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists. The village itself is small, with a population of just over 500 people, but it has a strong sense of community and a range of amenities including a village shop, pub, and church.

One of the main attractions of Holmbury St Mary is its proximity to the Hurtwood, a large area of woodland that is popular with walkers, mountain bikers, and horse riders. The Hurtwood is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, badgers, and foxes, and is a great place to explore at any time of year. The village is also close to Leith Hill, the highest point in the South East of England, which offers stunning views across the surrounding countryside.

Despite its rural location, Holmbury St Mary is well-connected to the rest of Surrey and London. The village is just a short drive from the A25, which provides easy access to Guildford and Dorking, and there are regular train services from nearby stations to London Waterloo. This makes Holmbury St Mary an ideal location for those who want to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the countryside while still being within easy reach of the city.
