A green, a pond and two pubs
Shamley Green's centre is built around a large cricket green with a duck pond at one corner, flanked by two pubs, a church and a village shop, a layout that gives it a noticeably different feel from Cranleigh's busier high street.
Part of Wonersh's parish
Rather than having its own civil parish, Shamley Green forms one of three villages, alongside Wonersh and Blackheath, that make up the wider Wonersh civil parish.
Council
Shamley Green falls under Waverley Borough Council, within a landscape recognised for its scenic value as part of the Surrey Hills.
