Dorking is an historic market town at the intersection of two major roads: A24 through the picturesque Mole Gap, and A25 along the foot of the North Downs. Dorking also has three railway stations on two intersecting lines. It is surrounded by stunning scenery, including Leith Hill, Ranmore and Box Hill.
