Mole Valley

Mole Valley is an administrative district in Surrey where a river cuts through chalk hills in a steep-sided valley. This waterway continues northward to meet the Thames near Hampton Court Palace.

The district was created in 1974 by bringing together three separate local authorities into one. This merger combined communities under a single local government structure.

The 26 Conservation Areas throughout the district protect historic street layouts and buildings that shape how villages and towns look today. Walking through these areas, you see houses and public spaces that have kept their character for generations.

The district council office in Dorking is the main place to handle planning questions and official matters. You can also use their online service to submit inquiries about property or other local issues.

One of the largest vineyards in England operates within the district boundaries and covers extensive growing fields. This production shows that the area continues to develop new agricultural ventures.
