Great Burgh Surrey Map

About Great Burgh

Great Burgh, a hamlet of Surrey, breathes a quietude that seems to absorb the very light. It lies 2.8 km west-south-west of Banstead (from Banstead: bearing 241°T, OS grid TQ 227 581), and is situated south of Epsom Downs village. The land here gently inclines, its soil often bearing the faint scent of damp earth and distant chalk, a subtle reminder of the chalk ridge that underpins this part of the Downs. Fields, often a patchwork of greens and golds depending on the season's mood, stretch towards the horizon, their boundaries softened by ancient hedgerows that whisper tales of centuries past. A sense of quiet industry persists, not of roaring mills, but of the earth yielding its bounty, the land itself a steady, enduring presence.
