Between two larger neighbours
Mid Holmwood is the smallest and least built-up of the three Holmwoods, a scattering of houses along the road between its northern and southern neighbours rather than a settlement with its own distinct centre.
A quieter stretch of the Holmwoods
With fewer shops or services of its own, Mid Holmwood tends to rely on North Holmwood and South Holmwood, or Dorking itself, for day-to-day amenities.
Council
Mid Holmwood, like its northern and southern neighbours, is administered by Mole Valley District Council.
