Forest Green is well known for The Parrot public house, which is over 400 years old, arguably one of the best pubs in the county, which offers excellent dining and is the hub of the community, neighbouring Butchers Hall and Country Grocer, overlooking the cricket green. Nearby is the biggest village in England, Cranleigh, which provides a good selection of shops, including a Marks and Spencer and Sainsbury's, whilst Guildford and Horsham offer more extensive ranges of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities.
This part of Surrey enjoys a wide choice of good schools, including Hurtwood House, Duke of Kent, Farlington and Cranleigh School. Recreational opportunities include golf at several local clubs, polo at Ewhurst, racing at Epsom and Sandown Park plus shooting and fishing at various local venues. In addition, the surrounding area provides for unrivalled walking, cycling, and riding in some of England's most beautiful countryside.
