North of the Hog's Back
Normandy sits below the northern side of the Hog's Back, the narrow ridge that carries the main road between Guildford and Farnham, giving the village flatter, more open surroundings than the hillside villages further south.
Close to Ash
The larger village of Ash lies a short distance to the west, along the same road corridor, with Normandy's own development spread loosely rather than gathered into a single dense centre.
Council
Normandy falls within the Borough of Guildford, a separate council area from the one responsible for Godalming.
