Shamley Green is a picturesque village of over
600 dwellings in the civil Parish of Wonersh.
It is situated about 5 miles south of Guildford,
on B2128 between the villages of Wonersh and Cranleigh.
It is bordered on the east by Blackheath and in
the west by the Cranleigh Water branch of the
river Wey, and is in the Surrey Hills area of
outstanding natural beauty.
There are two areas of public open space in
the village, including one on which cricket has
been played for over 160 years, and a number of
commons. The cricket green is also the site for
the annual fete, and the green with the village
duck pond is used for the occasional fair during
the summer. The village has two pubs, the Red
Lion and the Bricklayers Arms, as well as being
well served by the village stores with a post

The Arbuthnot Hall by the cricket green serves
as a centre for many of the local activities,
including the many AGMs, sporting fixtures such
as badminton and regular performances under the
auspices of SHADES, the local amateur dramatics
group. It also doubles as the pavilion during
cricket home fixtures.
