Situated in south-east Surrey on the south facing slope of the north down with views across the river Wey valley to the south downs at Hindhead and the Devils Punchbowl.
Sheltered from the north, by the north down ridge known as the Hogs Back, the prevailing wind is from the south west, this gives the area a drier weather compared to the otherside of the north down behind us where the rain level is higher.
Peper Harow is a beautiful peaceful and tranquil place, this is why it lent itself to early human habitation because of its natural security.
Settled since Saxon times and first recorded in the Doomsday Book, Peper Harow has an interesting and diverse history spanning the centuries and enjoys an outstanding architectural and horticultural heritage.
