Shere is a charming English village nestled in the stunning Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, between Guildford and Dorking. With its picturesque stream, cozy tearoom, two historic pubs, a 12th-century church, and romantic Lutyens architecture, Shere feels straight out of a movie—literally; with scenes from Bridget Jones and The Holiday filmed here. Popular with walkers and nature lovers, it’s close to scenic spots like Newlands Corner and Silent Pool. Parking is available in the village.
We recommend Newlands Corner for a gorgeous English countryside walk, with stunning views of the Surrey Hills. There’s ample free parking on-site, so it’s a convenient spot for all. Enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery to help clear your head after the festivities!
