Shalford

Shalford ward sits along the River Wey in the southern part of Guildford. The area encompasses the historic village of Shalford itself, with its central green and timber-framed cottages, alongside more modern residential developments. The landscape is defined by the river and the nearby Surrey Hills, with areas of open farmland and water meadows contributing to a semi-rural character. The ward includes the local primary school and a village hall serving as community hubs.

A notable local feature is the Shalford Park waterwheel, a surviving remnant of the area's industrial milling past. The Wey and Arun Canal passes through the ward, with sections undergoing restoration. The Bury Fields recreation ground provides a large open space for sports and leisure. Regular bus services connect the ward to Guildford town centre, balancing a degree of separation with convenient access for work and shopping.
