Farnham is a town in Surrey, England, within the Borough of
Waverley. The town is situated some 42 miles (67 km) southwest of London
in the extreme west of Surrey, adjacent to the border with Hampshire. By
road Guildford is 11 miles (17 km) to the east, Aldershot 4 miles (7 km)
to the north-east and Winchester 28 miles (45 km) to the south-west. It
is of historic interest, with many old buildings, including a number of
Georgian houses. Farnham Castle overlooks the town. The former Bishops'
Palace of the castle is now a conference centre, but the medieval keep is
in the care of English Heritage and has limited opening to the public. A
short distance south-east of the town centre are the ruins of Waverley
Abbey, Moor Park House and Mother Ludlam's Cave. Farnham is twinned with Andernach
in Germany.
