Gatwick is a small and unspoilt village in south-western Surrey. It lies to near the villages of Puttenham, Charleshill, Elstead and Peper Harrow. The village lies close to the Puttenham & Crooksbury Commons.
The village sits surrounded by woodland in the North Downs, less than half a mile from the meanders of the River Wey, beyond which lies Elstead, while half a mile to the north is the Tarn, the largest and lowest of a string of long, thin ponds formed from the course of a bourn running off the Hog's Back down to the Wey.
Of the village's noisy namesake, Gatwick Airport, there is no sign and no connection as it merely coincidentally named and lies elsewhere in Surrey.
