Dorking is a market town in Surrey, England, surrounded by the Surrey Hills National Landscape. The town has a rich history, with archaeological evidence of human activity dating back to the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. The High Street runs roughly east-west, parallel to the Pipp Brook, and the town is close to Box Hill and Leith Hill. The local economy thrived during Tudor times, but declined in the 17th century. The town started to expand during the 18th and 19th centuries as transport links improved, and residential expansion continued in the first half of the 20th century. The town is now constrained by the Metropolitan Green Belt, which encircles it. Visitors can explore the town's historic center, visit the nearby hills and valleys, and enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside
