West End, Surrey

About West End, Surrey

West End is a village and civil parish in Surrey Heath, Surrey, England between the towns of Camberley and Woking, west and east respectively. The village until the mid 20th century consisted of little-farmed smallholdings amid substantial common land – West End Common to the west is comparable in size to Chobham Common to the north, and both dwarf the built-up heart of the village. West End Common includes training ranges of the British Army and is separated by a smaller public area, Brentmoor Heath, which shares in naturally wet, acid heathland, a rare soil type. In geology, the Bagshot Formation is apparent in parts of the village. West End lies between Bagshot and Brookwood railway stations, away. The River Bourne runs through the village from its sources to the immediate west. West End and Bisley have little commerce and industry compared to adjoining settlements, with parks, grassland areas and separated by Green Belt buffers. A golf course, plant nurseries and farms adjoin the clustered village centre. HistoryNearby lands were settled in prehistoric times, evidenced within this civil parish, with a megalithic barrow on Westend Common.
