Village Charm and Character

Independent shops line the High Street, a mixture of the practical and the picturesque. You can shop for food and flowers, call in at the post office, hairdresser or chemist, browse in the art gallery and antique shop – even buy a classic car. There’s also a library, family butcher, fish and chip shop and tea shop. Bramley’s two pubs are The Jolly Farmer and The Wheatsheaf. Both serve home cooked seasonal food, good ale and wine, and host numerous events that bring the community together.

Enjoy the Great Outdoors

Pretty villages and hamlets such as Abinger Hammer and Friday Street are scattered amongst natural attractions like Leith Hill, Shere Woodlands and Chinthurst Hill. Grand houses and estates include Loseley Park, Clandon and Hatchlands Park, while Wisley, Birdworld and Winkworth Arboretum bring nature up close.

Walkers and cyclists will be delighted to find that the 37-mile Downs Link passes through Bramley. It follows the route of a disused railway, so it is mainly flat, with plenty of pubs and cafés along the way.
