Hersham Village Green is the centrepiece of this charming Surrey village, giving Hersham a distinctly rural character despite its proximity to Walton town centre.
The green is surrounded by a mix of period cottages and Victorian villas, with the village pond adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The Barley Mow pub sits alongside the green and has been serving locals for centuries.
A quiet retreat
The green is a peaceful spot for a stroll, and the pond attracts ducks and occasional visiting herons. It’s particularly lovely in spring when the surrounding trees come into leaf, and in summer when locals gather on the grass.
Getting to Hersham
Hersham village is about a mile south of Walton-on-Thames town centre, easily reached on foot via Queen’s Road or by bus. Hersham railway station on the Waterloo line is a 10-minute walk from the village green.
