Jacobs Well or Jacobswell[n 1] is a small village in Surrey, England, of 20th century creation, with a population of 1,171. The village forms a northern outskirt of Guildford, in the civil parish of Worplesdon which can be considered the mother village of medieval date to the west. The Stoke Hill part of Stringers Common, Slyfield Industrial Estate and a Surrey County Council general waste transfer station to the south form the narrowest of its buffer zones to all sides, separating the Slyfield part of Guildford from the village.
Between Jacobs Well and Burpham to the south-east and east lie the River Wey, Burpham Court Farm Park[n 2], the River Wey Navigation, and the A3, in that order.
Other nearby settlements include Sutton Green (beyond which is Old Woking) to the NNE.
