Although there are plenty of wonderful hotels in and around Farnham, the area is actually best known for its influence on the creative arts. In fact, it is home to one of the University for the Creative Arts’ three campuses. The bustling Surrey market town has been long regarded for pottery and brickmaking, thanks to the Wealden clay which the area is built upon. Therefore, it makes sense that Farnham was home to several notable painters including William Herbert Allen who painted Surrey’s rolling hills and meandering rivers. Even today, the town’s New Ashgate Gallery is well-known among contemporary artists and makers. Along with all things creative, Farnham is famed for being the hometown of former England captain Jonny Wilkinson and former England cricketer Graham Thorpe.
Farnham is not too far from London, approximately 36 miles away, and it’s near the county border with Hampshire which boasts luscious landscapes. They are almost as impressive as the view from Farnham Castle which overlooks the Surrey Hills.
