Farnham & surrounding area
Frensham is a dispersed parish rather than one village, spread across Frensham, Shortfield Common, Millbridge and Frensham Vale on the south branch of the River Wey. The two medieval fishponds and 922 acres of National Trust common define it, and they bring far more visitors, and far more taxi work, than the parish has residents.

Local knowledge
Frensham is a dispersed parish rather than a single village, spread across Frensham, Shortfield Common, Millbridge and Frensham Vale on the south branch of the River Wey. It is defined by the two medieval fishponds dug for the Bishop of Winchester and by Frensham Common, 922 acres of National Trust heathland and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
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 two National Trust car parks are the places people name most: Great Pond on Bacon Lane and Little Pond on Priory Lane. Both take payment by app rather than coins, and both fill on summer weekends, so a booked pickup saves a long wait. We also run to The Holly Bush on Shortfield Common Road, St Mary the Virgin's Church, and the Devil's Jumps.
Frensham has an unusual concentration of independent schools for a parish this size. More House, Edgeborough and Frensham Heights all sit within a few minutes of each other, which makes termly and boarding runs a steady part of the work here. With only the number 19 bus serving the A287, evenings are effectively taxi-only.
The cars
Luggage is where most airport bookings go wrong. These are the real limits, not the optimistic ones.
The standard car for one to four people. Two checked-in bags in the boot plus two items of hand luggage.
Six seats with room for two large suitcases in the back plus four items of hand luggage.
Seven seats filled, with five large suitcases in the boot plus six items of hand luggage.
Questions
What people usually ask about local journeys from Frensham.
Yes, and on a summer weekend it is the sensible way to go. Both National Trust car parks fill up, and both take payment by app rather than cash, so a drop-off and a booked pickup avoids the queue and the parking app entirely.
Regularly. The parish has an unusual concentration of independent schools for its size, with More House, Edgeborough and Frensham Heights all close together, so termly and boarding runs are a steady part of our work here.
Only the number 19, which runs along the A287 between Aldershot, Farnham and Haslemere. There is no station in the parish, so evenings are effectively taxi-only.
Anywhere in the parish. The Holly Bush on Shortfield Common Road and St Mary the Virgin's Church are the usual landmarks, but the settlement is scattered, so a postcode helps.
