Albury Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Albury is a charming village lying 4 miles (6 km) southeast of Guildford, in the beautiful Tillingbourne Valley.

Albury is probably best known for the picturesque tall chimneys that adorn the early Victorian houses along its main street and for its landscaped lakes by the River Tillingbourne that are stocked for fly-fishing.

The age (circa 1840) of the prominent buildings in Albury arises because the old village of Albury that had existed nearby in Albury Park since medieval times was relocated in 1842 to its current location by command of the Lord of the Manor at Albury Park – this because he objected to the local peasants living so close to his mansion!

The village is well placed for several hiking routes and makes a good stopping point. There are two village stores (with coffee-to-go) and a pub. The main street can be a little busy at times with through-traffic but Albury’s side streets are quiet.

St Peter and St Paul’s Church, Albury

Highlight • Historical Site

The church is a prominent landmark and is clearly visible from Newlands Corner (as shown in the 'View to Albury' komoot Highlight komoot.com/highlight/3691306). The building is a fine example of red brick Victorian architecture and looks best in sunlight.
