About

Farnham Shortheath sits on the eastern edge of Farnham in Waverley, Surrey. The area combines stretches of common land, mixed woodland and agricultural fields with pockets of housing along narrow lanes. Local roads link the area to the town and surrounding parishes; a network of public footpaths and bridleways crosses the heath and connects farms and cottages. Community facilities are modest, centred on village halls and allotments rather than larger commercial centres, and land use remains largely rural in character.

Shortheath Common occupies a distinctive part of the locality, where lowland heath gives way to oak and birch stands and a string of shallow, peaty hollows that fill after rain. Those seasonal pools support amphibians and specialised plants on acid soils, and the pattern of rides and heathy patches reflects past grazing and common rights. Informal conservation work by volunteers and landowners helps maintain the open habitats and the walking routes used by residents and visitors.
