About

The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from post-war estates to more modern developments. Its landscape includes the gentle slopes of the North Downs, with local streets following the contours of the land. The ward contains several small greens and recreational spaces, such as Fernhill Farm Open Space, which provide areas for local leisure.
