Smoky Hole remains a quiet point of reference amidst the rolling topography of the Surrey Hills. It lies 5.6 miles west-south-west of Dorking (from Dorking: bearing 243°T, OS grid TQ 088 452), and is situated north-north-east of Peaslake village. The terrain here rises with a certain stubborn character, marked by the proximity of the steep rise of Colman's Hill to the east. Those who traverse the local lanes often catch the morning light as it breaks over the high ground, casting long, deliberate shadows across the lanes. To the southeast, the shadowed contours of Riding Bottom provide a natural basin where the air holds a cooler, more persistent stillness. Smoky Hole exists as a minor coordinate within this broader sweep of woodland and ridge, far removed from the clamour of larger industrial centres. The landscape maintains an austere beauty, defined not by grand architecture, but by the way the elevation dictates the movement of wind and rain across the fields. Residents of Smoky Hole observe the changing seasons through the shifting hues of the foliage that encroaches upon the gardens and quiet access tracks.
