About

Hindhead, Beacon Hill and Frensham form a distinct area within Waverley, characterised by significant heathland and woodland. The landscape is dominated by the National Trust's Devil's Punch Bowl, a large natural amphitheatre with steep sandstone slopes. This creates a sense of open space and rugged terrain, contrasting with the more cultivated Surrey countryside. The area sits on the Greensand Ridge, offering elevated views across the Weald.

Frensham is noted for its large ponds, Great Pond and Little Pond, which are popular for sailing and birdwatching. These were originally created in the Middle Ages to supply fish to the Bishop of Winchester. The surrounding Frensham Common is a vast area of heath managed for its rare wildlife. The settlements within this area, including Hindhead village, have developed around historic routeways crossing this otherwise challenging terrain.
