Location

The Cyder House Inn is situated in the village of Shackleford, which lies in the Surrey Hills to the south of Guildford. Located next to the A3, its neighboring towns and villages include Puttenham, Milford, Farnham and Godalming. In the 2001 Census Shackleford had a population of over 700 people.

The name Shackleford is believed to derive from a 'ford' (perhaps over a marshy area or swamp) belonging to a man with the name 'shackle' or perhaps a ford secured by chains. Others have speculated that the name derives from the Old English word 'scacol,' meaning tongue of land.

Many of the houses in the village were built in the 18th century, although there was a further expansion of the village when the railway line was constructed between London and Portsmouth during the mid 19th century, passing through both nearby Godalming and Farncombe.

The village includes St. Mary's Church which was built in 1865 and designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and Aldro School, which sits in the grounds of the former Hall Place and is situated across the road from the Cyder House Inn.
