 Our Online bookshop is set in the Surrey Hills, which form part of the North Downs, above the Mole Valley near Leatherhead. We consider ourselves very lucky to live in such a beautiful area which is amazingly rural although within a couple of miles of Junction 9 of the M25. There is plenty of unspoilt countryside and peace. This photograph was taken looking across the fields of Bocketts Farm on the edge of Norbury Park. Box Hill, Polesden Lacey and several other National Trust properties are nearby.

There is much of interest in this part of Surrey which has a history dating back to prehistoric times. There are are churches and buildings of architectural interest in the surrounding towns and villages, such as Leatherhead, Dorking, Ashtead, Fetcham, Great & Little Bookham as well as local legends. The local Commons at Bookham & Ashtead, the River Mole & the North Downs support a wealth of interest wildlife including kingfishers and wild deer. Here are two books of local interest which we stock:

'The Story of Two Villages: Great & Little Bookham' by S.E.D. Fortescue  and 'The History of Leatherhead: A Town at the Crossroads' by Edwina Vardey
