Abinger Hammer
Why live in Abinger Hammer?
It’s a very pretty village in an accessible location. The Tillingbourne (more of a stream here, than a river) flows through the green where, during summer, locals and visitors congregate to watch the cricket while children paddle and fish with nets. The village clock is a landmark, featuring the figure of a blacksmith striking the hour with his hammer, a reminder of the iron forge which operated here in the late 1500s.
The Kingfisher Farm Shop sells a range of fresh produce and there’s a village shop/post office and tearoom. Tennis and cricket clubs are based at Abinger Sports Club, which also offers social memberships. There are several good traditional pubs nearby, including the Gomshall Mill.
