The small Surrey town of Esher retains a timeless village feel despite being just off the A3 within the M25 London ring road and only a 25 minute train ride to London Waterloo. Its pleasant green with Victorian cottages and a gothic Victorian church, add to the village feel, plus the town is bordered by wooded commons and the River Mole. Whilst walking round the town keep an eye open for lots of interesting little features like the tiny church made from corrugated iron, the Œwhite lady‚ milestone, the old village pump, and a gothic tumbledown folly-like structure known as the Traveller‚s Rest. Above the shop fronts much of the High Street is 17th - 18th century, with old coaching inns remaining from when Esher was a stage coach stop and some buildings dating from as early as Tudor times. Esher‚s oldest public building is St.George‚s church, a lovely 16th century Tudor church made from chequered stone with the original wooden bell tower plus a nicely restored Georgian interior. Local attractions include Sandown Park racecourse and Claremont landscape garden with its grotto, lake and grassed amphitheatre amidst what is believed to be one of the earliest surviving examples of an English landscape garden.
