Farnham in Surrey is a pretty Georgian market town, some thirty-five miles or just under an hour from London on one of the main train lines from Waterloo. This closeness makes it a commuter town, with all the advantages and disadvantages that distinction brings. However, my deep-seated love of walking in open spaces and Farnham's proximity to both the North Downs in Surrey and the green fields of Hampshire attracted me here more than anything else. I wrote the book 'Fascinating Farnham' earlier this year looking at some local stories and telling the thrilling parts for everyone to read. But readers wanted more... Fellow walkers asked me for routes linking the fascinating subjects, mixed in with the stories. I pondered that suggestion but realised the resulting book would lose some of its qualities, and it was long enough already! The answer was obvious - a new book. 'Fascinating Farnham - The Walks' was born. I have taken some of my favourite local hikes and described them in detail. I am not claiming that one could walk the routes using only this book (like a Pennine Way walker using only Wainwright's guide), but this is an enchiridion. All the walks are shown on the Ordnance Survey Explorer maps 144, 145 and OL33. However, I always find that the particular trail I want to walk is on the fold or a join, so I prefer to use a mobile phone app that has the added advantage of showing you exactly where you are. Practical advice says always take a paper map and compass with you in case of phone problems. Surrey and Hampshire are filled with the most glorious countryside, but that does not mean they are the same. Around Farnham, as an average, Surrey is more hilly and slightly wilder (in Surrey terms). Hampshire, on the other hand, tends more to farmland with fields bursting forth seasonal crops. Walking in both is very pleasant, and I enjoy the variety. The counties are crisscrossed by long-distance footpaths - The North Downs Way to Dover, the St Swithun's Way to Winchester and the Greensand Way to Haslemere to our south or Hamstreet in Kent to the east. This book looks at a variety of routes that cater for almost everyone. The longest trail is eleven miles 'downhill' from Hindhead, picking up the story of the unknown sailor, the wigwam murder and the Atlantic Wall. The shorter walks, around three to five miles, include a valley walk to Moor Park and another up on the heights of Caesar's Camp. Finally, I have offered town walks around Farnham, picking up the stories right on our doorstep. I hope you enjoy this companion guide to my previous book and enjoy the walks I have devised for you.

Farnham in Surrey is a pretty, Georgian market town, some thirty-five miles or just under an hour from London on one of the main train lines from Waterloo. This closeness makes it a commuter town, with all the advantages and disadvantages that distinction brings. It was my deep-seated love of walking in open spaces and Farnham's proximity to both the North Downs in Surrey and green fields of Hampshire that attracted me more than anything else. One of my other interests is local history. I love researching basic information, which I can then regurgitate for the benefit of walkers on the hikes that I lead. Naturally, my fellow ramblers were not interested in the detailed (or dare I say more-boring?) facts; they were only interested in the edited highlights. This fascination drove me to dig deep into stories, which I then distilled down to their essence, the fascinating parts that I could pass on. When I was younger, much younger, I lived in a house called Peregrines. At that time, I was blissfully unaware of the falcon species, but I knew the word peregrine meant a wanderer or a pilgrim from the Latin peregrinus. I took this to heart through my later life and wandered for more than thirty years. Eventually, in May 2017, I moved to Farnham, but before that I lived a nomadic life, pausing in London; Tennessee, USA; Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Pattaya, Thailand and Siem Reap, Cambodia, to name a few of my temporary residences along the way. Unlike some of my previous dwellings, I fell in love with Farnham as soon as I arrived. That leads me to tell you about one of the central features of this book. The stories will wander from subject to subject, but each will link to the previous one (or occasionally to one that is substantially previous). Sometimes the connections are geographical, sometimes through a person or subject, occasionally they are very tenuous - but a link there will be. I also ought to point out from the start that although almost everything that follows is historical fact, an occasional streak of personal, unhistorical sarcasm does creep in. You have been warned! And the paragraph before this gives us our starting point, a pererine. But always the stories are fascinating, and that is the real central theme of this book - Fascinating Farnham.
