Dorking, Market town in Surrey, England

Dorking stands between the North Downs and Surrey Hills, featuring streets lined with Georgian and Victorian buildings along the ancient Stane Street route.

The town developed as a key waypoint between London and the south coast during the turnpike era, with numerous coaching inns serving travelers and merchants.

The Dorking Museum and Heritage Centre presents exhibits about local history, including displays about the five-toed Dorking chicken breed and Roman settlements.

Three railway stations connect the town to London Victoria and Waterloo, while regular bus services operate to Guildford, Redhill, and surrounding villages.

The Dorking Deepdene Gardens contain a network of Victorian caves and tunnels carved into sandstone, extending beneath parts of the town center.
