The ancient and historic hamlets of Upper and Lower Eashing, in the parish of Shackleford, straddle the River Wey, six miles south of Guildford and are notable for the number of listed historic buildings in the area. Records of a mill in Eashing date from the Domesday Book and it has been used to produce flour, paper and flock. It then became the home of a local engineering company, before the site was finally redeveloped in 1998 as offices. The National Trust river bridge at Eashing is believed to have been built by the monks of Waverley Abbey in the 13th Century. The popular Stag on the River pub is close by.
Eashing enjoys a particularly convenient situation, having ready access to the A3 between London and the South Coast and via the M25 at Wisley, also links to Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Local facilities include a wonderful garage with shop in Lower Eashing and an excellent farm shop at Milford, less than a mile away. A greater choice of shopping, banks and restaurants is available in Godalming, whilst Guildford offers a full range of High Street outlets, in addition to leisure, sporting and cultural
amenities.
There is an outstanding selection of schools in the area, including Aldro, St Hilary’s, King Edward’s, Waverley Abbey, Tilford & Rodborough in Witley. Charterhouse, Priors Field, Tormead, St Catherine’s, Cranleigh, Royal Grammar and Guildford High amongst many others. Acorns Nursery and St Mary’s primary school, both in Shackleford, have excellent reputations. Godalming has a good 6th form college.
Recreational opportunities include golf at several local clubs, including Milford, the West Surrey and Hurtmore. There is shooting and fishing at several local venues, polo at Hurtwood Park and Cowdray, racing at Epsom and Goodwood and sailing at Frensham Ponds and Chichester Harbour. The Surrey Sports Park boasts professional-level training facilities.
Further leisure and entertainment centres can be found at the Spectrum Leisure Centre in Guildford and centres at Godalming and Haslemere provide a good range of activities.
The immediate surrounding countryside offers walking, cycling and riding opportunities in areas that include Hydon Ball and The Devil’s Punchbowl at Hindhead. The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding
