Wisley

village

Wisley is a tiny village on the eastern bank of the River Wey, best known as the home of RHS Garden Wisley, one of the finest gardens in Britain. The Royal Horticultural Society's flagship garden spans 240 acres and attracts over a million visitors annually with its stunning displays, glasshouses, and woodland walks. The village itself is small but perfectly formed, with the river providing a peaceful backdrop. Ockham Common nearby offers heathland walks, while the village sits close to the Wey Navigation between Newark and Pyrford locks.
