On the outskirts of Cobham is
Stoke d'Abernon, whose name is taken from a family who settled here at time of the
Norman conquest in
1066. Its ancient parish church contains some of the oldest monumental brasses in the country. Nowadays the Manor House houses
Parkside School.
Nearby is the world-famous
Yehudi Menuhin School.
RHS Garden, Wisley is close by, it is one of the three most visited paid gardens in the
United Kingdom alongside
Kew Gardens and
Alnwick Garden. It is one of four public gardens run by the Society.
In 2005 the English Premiership football club
Chelsea FC moved their training to
Stoke D'Abernon on the outskirts of Cobham. Some people claim that as a result, house prices in Cobham have skyrocketed. Sightings of players around town are not uncommon.
Cobham is known for the movement called the
Diggers. Other nearby areas include
Ockham Common and
Chatley Heath, which has one of the last remaining
semaphore towers.
The local newspaper is the
Cobham News & Mail.
Rail
It has its own railway station, named "Cobham and Stoke D'Abernon". This is due to the fact its built in Stoke D'Abernon, because Cobham was located sufficiently too far north for the line to be effectively routed to it when constructed at the end of the 19th century, and to avoid passing through Wisley Gardens.
Road
To the north of the town is the A3,
London to
Portsmouth Road. Which in turn is joined with the
M25 motorway north-west of Cobham.
