Woldingham sits high on the North Downs between Oxted and Warlingham. Its village green is a Conservation Area and the settlement is characterised by large plots in a wooded setting.
Much of the area was once owned by the Marden Estate and Marden Park (now Woldingham School) still stands in extensive grounds in the valley alongside the railway line.
There is a small parade of shops in the centre of the village, as well as St Paul's Church which was built in 1933.
A local website has been set up for Woldingham which includes information about the parish council and the village.
