context_page_description: Dorking is a market town in Surrey, south east England, 21 miles south of London. The main axis of the town runs east-west along the northern face of an outcrop of Lower Greensand and parallel to the course of the Pipp Brook. The town is between Ranmore Common on the North Downs and Leith Hill in the Greensand Ridge.
  In the Georgian and Victorian periods six prominent sites in the former parish or on its boundaries became grand country estates: Leith Hill Place, Denbies, Norbury Park, Polesden Lacey, Wotton House and Deepdene; five of which along with nearby Box Hill's promontory and chalk grassland slopes belong to the National Trust. Dorking is a commuter and retirement settlement with three railway stations and a few large offices of multinational companies. Similarly, Malden in 1911, noted the place was "almost entirely residential and agricultural, with some lime works on the chalk, though not so extensive as those in neighbouring parishes, a little brick-making, water-mills at Pixham Mill, and timber and saw-mills".
context_section_description: Dorking is at the junction of the A24 (London to Worthing) and A25 (Maidstone to Guildford) roads.
  The town has three railway stations:
  Dorking railway station, on the (north/south) Epsom to Horsham Sutton & Mole Valley Line. Services are run by Southern to London Victoria via Sutton. South Western Railway run services to London Waterloo.
  Dorking Deepdene, on the (west/east) Guildford to Redhill North Downs Line. Services are run by Great Western Railway.
  The above two stations are a short walk from one another, north of the town.
  Dorking West, also on the Guildford to Redhill North Downs Line, but with fewer trains stopping.
  Most bus services are run by Arriva, the main locations served being Guildford, Redhill and Reigate and villages in between, as well as some local services. Sunray Travel operates a Surrey CC supported route to Leatherhead and Epsom, and running via Box Hill. Metrobus took over Arriva's Horsham depot, and now run route 93 to Horsham, and London Buses route 465 to Kingston.
