Steeped in history and untouched charm, this Surrey gem, Reigate, has its roots firmly planted in the chronicles of England. Once known as Cherchefelle in the Domesday Book, the place traces its humble beginnings back to the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, bearing silent testimony to centuries of vibrant human activity.

The town's rich historical tapestry incorporates influences from Roman occupation, evident from tile making activities at Doods Road, to medieval defensive architecture, as seen in the motte-and-bailey castle built within the town. The Augustinian priory, founded in the 13th century and later transformed into a private residence during the Reformation, adds an interesting facet to Reigate's historical narrative.

Surrounded by the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Vale of Holmesdale and the North Downs, the town's advantageous geographical positioning has led to an expansive resource sector.

Today, the once-rural agricultural settlement thrives as part of the bustling London commuter belt, attracting history lovers, nature enthusiasts, and city-goers looking for a tranquil escape. Its timeless charm, combined with modern appeal, makes Reigate a must-visit jewel in Surrey's crown.
