About Albury
Albury is a village and civil parish in the borough of Guildford in Surrey, England, about 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of Guildford town centre. The village is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Site of Special Scientific Interest. The village of Albury is in fact divided into a village and two hamlets, the village being Albury and the hamlets Farley Green and Little London, each separated by woods and heathland. The River Tillingbourne runs through the centre of the village and in the recent past fed the flour mill at the Chilworth edge of the village, which has now given way to a small estate of houses. The small village offers one post office and general shop and a pub. Another pub in Little London dates back to the 16th century. Fishing is available in the stocked Albury Estate ponds. Albury is on the south side of the North Downs near to the Silent Pool.
