About

Town ward sits in the northern part of Surrey Heath, bordered by the M3 motorway to the west and bisected by the London to Southampton railway line.

Local amenities are clustered around the High Street and the nearby shopping parade, serving the immediate community.

A notable local feature is the historic Town Mill, a former watermill on the River Blackwater, which gives the area its name. The ward contains several areas of woodland and heath, including parts of the Lightwater Country Park on its fringes. Public transport links are defined by the frequent train services from Bagshot railway station, providing direct connections to London Waterloo and Ascot.
