Farnham Library

There's always plenty going on at Farnham library , suitable for all ages from toddlers to teenagers.

Go on an adventure!

Farnham is the ideal place for discovering the great outdoors. The town is surrounded by gentle hills, streams and rivers, leafy lanes and historic buildings, making it the perfect setting to explore on a bike or even just a gentle stroll.

Frensham Ponds

If the effort of driving to the seaside seems a little too much, take a trip to the next best thing – Frensham Ponds. No they are not technically beaches at all but soft sand, woodland trails and lots of wildlife can be much more fun. (3 miles)

Alice Holt Forest

It's easy to while away a whole day at this beautiful ancient forest. Children can enjoy a playground, Timberline Trail mini assault course, Habitat Trail with a series of play structures and an Easy Access Trail. That will wear them out!

Pop to a Park
