IF you want to get into the Christmas spirit, then there is a UK village you should visit during the festive season.<\/p>\n

Shere, a village in Surrey, may not seem like much apart from a quaint little part of England.<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n

It dates back to 1086 when it was mentioned in the Domesday Book and was even held by William<\/span> the Conqueror.<\/p>\n

However, it has been made famous over the years thanks to the Christmas film<\/span> The Holiday.<\/p>\n

The White Horse pub was used to film some of the scenes, including one with Jude Law.<\/p>\n

There is now even a plaque on the wall commemorating The Holiday.<\/p>\n

To get in the festive mood, there are often lots of Christmas events in Shere.<\/p>\n

Carols in the Square is the popular annual event, along with Christmas film nights at the cinema and festive tours.<\/p>\n

And it's not just The Holiday that films there – The Wedding Date as well as Bridget Jones was shot there too.<\/p>\n

The village itself is home to just 4,000 people and has a number of charming places to visit.<\/p>\n

This includes the cute tearoom called the Dabbling Duck which serves tea and cake, as well as sweetshop Shere Delights and restaurant Kinghams.<\/p>\n

Tourists can also pop into the Cuckoo Corner gift shop, which is described as an "Aladdin's cave" of gifts.<\/p>\n

Most people who live there are London commuters, although it was named one of the "coolest places to live" in a 2023 study.<\/p>\n

It was also named one of England's most beautiful villages by The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

It will cost you to live there though – the average house price is \u00a31.2million.<\/p>\n

To get to Shere, it takes around 1hr40 minutes, with trains from London Victoria.<\/p>\n
