Location
Jacobs Well enjoys a peaceful semi rural position on the northern edge of Guildford, surrounded by the River Wey, open countryside and a series of protected green spaces. The village lies approximately 3 miles from Guildford town centre, offering convenient access to the town’s extensive shopping, dining and cultural amenities while maintaining a quiet, rural character.

The surrounding landscape provides excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits. The River Wey and its Navigation form an attractive natural boundary to the east of the village, offering riverside footpaths, wildlife viewing and picturesque walking routes through meadows and floodplains. Whitmoor Common, the largest local green buffer to the west, presents wide ranging countryside walks, bridleways and open heathland to explore. This abundance of accessible countryside makes Jacobs Well particularly appealing for those who enjoy walking, cycling and time spent outdoors.

Families have access to a broad choice of schools within Guildford and the surrounding area, including Burpham Primary School in nearby Burpham and Weyfield Primary Academy to the south of Jacobs Well. Secondary schooling is similarly well represented, with respected options such as George Abbot School in Merrow and Guildford County School close to the town centre. Independent provision is also notable, including Guildford High School and the Royal Grammar School, both located in central Guildford.

This blend of countryside calm, extensive walking routes, and excellent proximity to Guildford’s amenities and schooling makes Jacobs Well an especially attractive setting for family life.
