Compton is a former village and today a semi-rural suburb centred ESE of
Farnham in the
Waverley district of
Surrey, England and connected to Farnham by two direct urban single carriageways and green space footpaths along the
Wey (North Branch) which in part marks the northern boundary of the area together with the
A31. The area relies on Farnham for most of its modern amenities and its eastern part is rural whereas its western part is urban, with a divide where the Wey flows between the two south-eastwards.
