Farnham & surrounding area
Headley Down is a twentieth-century village rather than an old one. It began as a handful of buildings in the 1870s and grew until it outgrew Headley itself, the historic parish centre a mile west. Unusually for a Hampshire village it was laid out on a grid, settled by 1909, rather than the normal radial plan, which at least makes a taxi simple to direct.

Local knowledge
Headley Down is a twentieth-century village rather than an old one. It began as a handful of buildings in the 1870s and grew until it outgrew Headley itself, the historic parish centre a mile to the west. Unusually for a Hampshire village it was laid out on a grid pattern, settled by 1909, instead of the normal radial plan.
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. Beech Hill Garage and the One Stop on the Heatherlands estate are the landmarks most people give. Ludshott Common, 285 hectares of National Trust heathland, and Waggoners Wells both border the village and draw walkers with very little parking. St Francis Community Church and Fuller's Vale pond are the other regular points.
With no station and a single bus route, the run to Liphook is the standing fare from here, and Haslemere when the timetable suits better. The B3002 is the only sensible through road: when it closes the alternatives are single-track lanes across the common, which adds real time rather than a couple of minutes.

Questions
What people usually ask about local journeys from Headley Down.
Liphook, about 3.3 miles south, is the standing choice, with Haslemere as the alternative when the timetable suits better. There is no station in the village and only one bus route.
Yes. Ludshott Common is 285 hectares of National Trust heathland, protected for its woodlark, nightjar and Dartford warbler, and both it and Waggoners Wells draw walkers to places with very little parking.
Journeys take noticeably longer. The B3002 is the only sensible through road, and the alternatives are single-track lanes across the common, so we build that in rather than discover it on the way.
About eight miles south-west, so allow fifteen to twenty minutes depending on the route and the traffic at Bordon.
