About

Farnham town sits around a shallow valley with a compact centre clustered beneath Castle Hill. Farnham Castle, set on a sandstone outcrop, presides over streets that retain medieval plots and later townhouses. The River Wey runs through the town and feeds Gostrey Meadow and its pond, which sit close to Bridge Square and Farnham Maltings, an arts centre in a converted maltings building beside the water. Railway lines and the A31 corridor give straightforward road and rail links without breaking the town’s compact footprint.

Streets such as West Street and Downing Street contain a mix of shops, cafes and civic buildings, and small regular markets appear in the town centre. Willmer House, built in 1718 and now home to Farnham Museum, sits among those buildings and records local industry and social history. Public parks and short riverside walks are within easy reach of the high street, and community events at the Maltings and the castle grounds are part of the town’s regular calendar.
