The Borough is crossed from east to west by the escarpment if the North Downs, a designated Area of Outstanding natural Beauty and the Greensand ridge. Together these divide the chalk uplands of Banstead and its numerous villages in the north from the Weald to the south. Immediately to the south lie the towns of Reigate and Redhill and the village of Merstham. Further south the Borough falls within the Weald and in this area is the town of Horley and the parish of Salfords and Sidlow.
