Welcome to Tandridge Parish Council's website. Tandridge is a small rural parish in East Surrey approximately six miles long and rarely more than one mile wide.

The majority of the Parish of Tandridge follows Tandridge Lane.

It begins from Barrow Green Road which is just over the A25 and continues through the area known as "Tandridge Village"past St Peter’s Church, with its famous yew tree,down past the forge and the Barley Mow public house to St Peter’s C of E Infant School. The Parish then runs the length of Tandridge Lane including the houses around Ardenrun and the small ‘hamlets’ such as Chathill and Crowhurst Lane End until it terminates at the Red Barn.

The parish lies within the Green Belt and the majority of the parish is still used for agriculture.
