Anyone live in Surrey?
 

More specifically about a 20 mile radius of CAMBERLEY??

I have a couple of potential job opportunities available to me up in Camberley and Farnborough.

I live near Portsmouth at the mo and I don't want to commute all that way, so would re-locate (if I get the jobs I'll see if they will pay re-location 8)).

Anyhoo, I don't want to live in a town, what are some nice surrounding (more countrified) areas to live in?? I know it is a tall order these days, but I don't want chavs or yobs and I want to feel that my property is 'secure'.

I'd rather be a little south or south/west of Camberley than north.

Any recommendation's or at least places to avoid!!? :)

I live in Guildford- just in the outskirts and i love it here.Can walk into town, but still can walk along the river, and be in pure countryside in 5 mins!! Grew up in Ash-Ash Vale, and love it there as well. Quiet, with amenities nearby and lots of nice village pubs! Frimley - I'm not too sure about, but seems ok to me!! And there's some nice parts of farnboro too, although the town is ****e!
Are u wanting to be completely away from town?

Camberly is around 10 miles west from where I am. Anywhere along the A30 from the M25 to there is nice. Countryfied as much as it can be. Any further South than Woking and its built slow going. Heres a map - all the green areas have some nice little towns.

Yea, I wanna avoid towns and be in a village type area. I don't mind somewhere small as long as it is slightly off the beaten track ...

Grant, that link just shows London road to the north east of Camberley, if anything I wanna go t-other side ;)

I was thinking more the sort of Upton Grey type place (I love all of those villages round there ... used to go for a ride round that sort of area and day-dream! :oops: ... are there any places like that but north of the M3 (yet south east of Camberley).

I ive 20 mins from Camberley in Bracknell (one of the nice areas)

If it's of any use Nick, I used to live in a village called Alfold Crossways - just down the road from Dunsfold (where Top Gear is filmed) - about 20 minutes from Guildford by car - can't give you a 'by bike' figure as i didn't own one at the time :-(

But, I have to say as someone who, given the choice, would choose village life over town life EVERY time - it's one of the best places I've lived. !! :cool:
