The rockstar lives in a rural village in the south of England

Brian May is an English rockstar who found fame as a member of Queen.

The 76-year-old was born in London but has chosen a quiet part of England to build a home.


He bought a property in Windlesham, located in Surrey.

The area is just over an hour away from London but has a small village feel.

There are plenty of outdoor activities where visitors and residents can get lost in nature.

This includes the nearby Swinley Forest, which is the most popular thing to do in the area according to Tripadvisor ratings.

Those who visited the route have highly recommended it for a visit.

One wrote: "A beautiful forest away from the crowd and fully tranquil.

"I highly recommend it. Can cycle miles and miles without being disturbed by a soul."

Another visitor added: "Amazing, amazing, amazing! Love, love, love!

"No complaints only an absolute abundance of praise and love for the people who upkeep the grounds."

One more added that it was a "great day out" that is "well worth a visit".

The majority of sales in Windlesham in the last year were detached properties selling for an average of £982,750.

Brian is not the only music legend to settle down in a quieter part of the country.

David Gilmour owned a multi-million pound mansion in a seaside town.

Marti Pellow also used to live by the British seaside.
