*************

Albury is a village and civil parish in the borough of Guildford in Surrey, England, about 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of Guildford town centre. The village is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The village of Albury is in fact divided into a village and two hamlets, the village being Albury and the hamlets Farley Green and Little London, each separated by woods and heathland. The River Tillingbourne runs through the centre of the village and in the recent past fed the flour mill at the Chilworth edge of the village, which has now given way to a small estate of houses. The small village offers one post office and general shop and a pub, the Drummond Arms. Another pub the William IV in close by Little London dates back to the 16th century. Fishing is available in the stocked Albury Estate ponds.

Albury is on the south side of the North Downs near to the Silent Pool.

The parish of Albury has four churches:

• The parish church of St Peter and St Paul
• The Barn church, St Michael's in Farley Green
• The Saxon Church in Albury Park in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
• The Catholic Apostolic Church at Sherbourne.

Albury village is next to Albury Estate which is an estate of 150 acres (0.61 km²); within it is the Saxon church, the Mansion (now a retirement home), a few houses and what is left of the old village of Albury. The estate is owned by the Duke of Northumberland. Albury Mansion was once home to the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. The gardens were designed by Evelyn.
