Chertsey also sits on the Thames, with the 18th-century Chertsey Bridge – a listed structure – crossing the river.
Chertsey is a town in the Runnymede borough of Surrey, England on the right bank of the River Thames where it is met by a corollary, the Abbey River and a tributary, the River Bourne or Chertsey Bourne. It is within a narrow projection of the Greater London Urban Area, aside from the Thames bordered by Thorpe Park. Chertsey's built environment has the medieval tower and chancel roof of its Anglican church, a large curfew bell to English medieval folklore heroine Blanche Heriot and 18th century listed buildings such as its local and pedestrian bridge, Botleys Mansion
within a public-access park and many of the buildings along its two
right-angled streets forming a church/museum/café/hotel/private housing
and general high street respectively. Its green spaces include sports fields, the Thames Path National Trail, Chertsey Meads and a round knoll (St Ann's Hill) the area which has much expensive domestic property such as Pyrcroft House from the 18th century and the replacement of 'Tara'
from the late 20th century. Adjoining are the main areas of woodland
and a few remaining agricultural and equestrian fields to the south-west
and north.
