Dorking, a charming market town in Surrey, has a rich tapestry of history that dates back to the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. As you wander its streets, you'll encounter echoes of its vibrant past - from its mention in the Domesday book, its Roman occupation, to the Tudor times when the town's economy thrived. Here lie stories of the Mayflower Pilgrims, who called Dorking home before their iconic journey to the New World and even author Daniel Defoe, who spent his childhood years here.

Centered on the old market place of Pump Corner, Dorking retains a layout that hearkens back to its medieval roots. The architecture mirrors the town's ancient allure, with houses built on land formerly fertile farmland, released during Dorking's 18th and 19th-century expansion. Today, the town is bordered by the Metropolitan Green Belt and flanked by Surrey Hills' natural expanse, punctuating its beauty with its nearby National Trust properties and sites of scientific interest.
