Farnham & surrounding area
Binsted is one of the largest civil parishes in north Hampshire at nearly 7,000 acres, but the village itself is small and the roads between its scattered hamlets are narrow and unlit. With the village pub currently shut, an evening out means a drive, and that is most of our taxi work here.

Local knowledge
Binsted parish is farms, woodland and scattered lanes, with the River Wey forming its northern boundary and Alice Holt Forest sitting entirely inside it. The parish population was 1,926 at the 2021 census, spread across the village itself plus Bucks Horn Oak, Holt Pound and the hamlets of Wyck, Wheatley and South Hay.
Every journey starts at your own door, so nobody has to walk to a meeting point. These are simply the places people name when they book, and the landmarks drivers navigate by. The Church of the Holy Cross on Church Street is the usual landmark, a Grade I listed building begun around 1140 with a ring of six bells. Binsted C of E Primary and the Wickham Institute, the parish hall, are on the same street. Telegraph House, built in 1825 as an Admiralty semaphore relay station, is now a private home.
There is no A-road through the village, so every approach is by lane, and the roads linking Binsted, Blacknest and Bucks Horn Oak are narrow and unlit. With the village pub closed there is no walkable destination for an evening, which makes the return leg worth booking at the same time as the outbound.

Questions
What people usually ask about local journeys from Binsted.
Not at the moment. The Cedars reopened in November 2021 but closed again in late 2025 and was put up for sale. For now the nearest options are at Blacknest and Bucks Horn Oak, both a short run away.
Bentley, about 1.8 miles north-east on the Alton line, is the nearest. Alton station is the other option, roughly four to five miles west.
Yes, and it is worth doing. The forest lies inside Binsted parish and its car park is known to fill at weekends and in school holidays, with visitors advised to arrive before half past ten or after half past two.
Yes. Bucks Horn Oak, Holt Pound, Wyck, Wheatley and South Hay are all in the parish. Give the dispatcher a full postcode, because the connecting lanes are narrow and unlit.
