Farnham is a quaint market town and civil parish in Surrey, surrounded by rolling green hills, diverse woodland and flower-filled fields. It’s around 36 miles from London, and not far from Hampshire - a county regarded for its gorgeous coastline and landscape.
Although Farnham is the home town of former England captain Jonny Wilkinson, it is best known as a creative arts hub. Rumour has it that J.M Barrie was inspired to write Peter Pan in Farnham, and it was home to several notable painters including William Herbert Allen whose landscapes often depicted the area. Since Roman Times, Farnham has been regarded for its pottery and brickmaking as a result of the wealden clay which was used here. Even today, the New Ashgate Gallery works with contemporary artists and makers. Aside from arts and crafts, Farnham is also well known for its castle which dates back to the 12th century, making it one of the most impressive medieval houses in England. It also boasts impressive views of the Surrey Hills.
