Burpham

Burpham ward lies in the northeast of Guildford, bordered by the A3 road and the River Wey. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing from different eras, including modern estates and older properties. It contains local shops and services centred around the Burpham shopping precinct, catering to daily needs. The ward includes several schools and green spaces like Burpham Cricket Ground, providing community focal points.

The topography is characterised by its position on the slopes of the London Clay ridge, with parts offering views over the surrounding landscape. A notable local feature is the ancient trackway known as the Pilgrims' Way, which passes through the southern edge of the area. Transport links are defined by the proximity to the A3, connecting to Guildford town centre and beyond. The overall character is one of a settled, self-contained suburb within the larger borough.
