Bletchingley is a pretty village sandwiched between Godstone and Redhill, in the county of Surrey and is home to over 3,000 people. The village has an interesting history and dates back to the Saxons who first settled here, and later Anne of Cleves who moved to a house close by after her divorce from Henry VIII.

There is an unspolit quality with many half brick and timber houses, and period cottages which line the roads and date back centuries. A stroll along the High Street will uncover a wide street with an unhurried air, the widest part is where the Market Square once stood, historic buildings line the Street some dating back to the 1500's, which adds charm to the heart of the village.

Nearby a short walk will discover the impressive church dedicated to St Mary whose Norman tower reaches skywards and dates back to the 11th Century. Artists will be kept busy with charming scenes dotted about, and attractive cottages and houses especially in Church Walk. There is a good choice of shops, and tempting antique shops here and there, a coffee shop and enticing ancient pubs offering something stronger.

For walkers, there are nearby footpaths which stretch across beautiful countryside along the North Downs and Greensand Way, and there are pleasing B&B's, and historic hotels which still offer a warm welcome to today's visitors who wish to linger.
