About

Farncombe sits immediately north of Godalming town centre in the borough of Waverley, on the east bank of the River Wey. The area is served by Farncombe railway station on the Portsmouth Direct Line, which provides direct rail links to London and to the south coast and shapes daily life for commuters. A compact high street with independent shops, takeaways and cafés runs close to the station, while terraces and more recent riverside developments form the local housing mix.

The River Wey and its navigation thread through Farncombe, with long stretches of towpath used for walking and cycling and several former mill buildings lining the channel now adapted for new uses. Community facilities include primary schooling, sports pitches and meeting halls used by local groups, and regular bus services link Farncombe with surrounding parts of Waverley. The combination of river access, rail connections and proximity to Godalming gives Farncombe a town-suburb character and a practical base for residents.
