Tilford

Tilford is for the most part a wooded village centred at the point where the two branches of the River Wey merge in Surrey, England, 3 miles south-east of Farnham. It has half of Charleshill, Elstead in its east, a steep northern outcrop of the Greensand Ridge at Crooksbury Hill on Crooksbury Common in the north and Farnham Common Nature Reserve in the west, which has the Rural Life Centre. As the Greensand Ridge in its western section is in two parts, the Greensand Way has a connecting spur here to its main route running east–west to the south.

The name "Tilford" appears to identify the Old English name Tila, as Tila's ford" or "Tilla's ford". The two medieval bridges spanning the River Wey are Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Several substantial farm houses date from the 16th century. Tilford House was built in 1727 and its chapel in 1776.
