It lies 1.8 miles west-south-west of Haslemere (from Haslemere: bearing 259°T, OS grid SU 875 321), and is situated south-east of Hammer Bottom village.

To the south-east, the rise of Hammer Hill breaks the horizon, offering a vantage point over the quiet lanes that trace the contours of the earth. The light in Hammer often catches the lingering moisture of the valley floors, turning the morning mist into a pale, translucent veil. Ancient woodlands nearby, such as Marley Common, provide a dense, rhythmic counterpoint to the more cultivated patches of the parish.
