Runfold.

Runfold is a small roadside village strung along the old A31 at the western foot of the Hog's Back, two and a half miles from Farnham. The bypass that opened in the early nineties made it quieter but took its passing trade with it, so there is no walkable route into town and a taxi is the way in and out.

Local knowledge

Getting around
Runfold.

Runfold was historically a sand and gravel village, and the old A31 ran straight through it until the bypass opened in the early 1990s. The village street is still the Guildford Road. What remains is a mix of houses, a hotel, a prep school and light-industrial and quarry land, with the Pilgrims' Way crossing nearby.

Door to door, and the local landmarks

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 Princess Royal on Guildford Road is the name that comes up most, a 1926 roadhouse hotel designed by Guy Maxwell Aylwin, who also designed Farnham's Bush Hotel. We also run to Barfield School, to Runfold Manor at the foot of the Hog's Back, and to Runfold Wood, a 12-hectare Surrey Wildlife Trust reserve.

What drivers watch for

The bypass took the village's amenities with it, so there is nothing within walking distance and every trip is a drive. Quarry and industrial movements around the Runfold junction can make the A31 slip roads slow at peak times, which matters most for early airport departures.

Questions

Before
you book.

What people usually ask about local journeys from Runfold.

Do you do transfers for the Princess Royal?

Yes, often. It is a 27-room hotel with function space on the old A31, and guests have no realistic walking route into Farnham, so airport transfers and wedding-guest runs are steady work for us here.

Is there a shop or a station in Runfold?

Neither. The service station, the post office and the old transport café have all gone, and the nearest station is Farnham, about two and a half to three miles west.

Can you do the school run to Barfield?

Yes. Barfield School is an independent prep in the village and generates a regular weekday run. Ask about a standing arrangement with a consistent driver.

Does the A31 junction hold you up?

It can. Quarry and industrial traffic at the Runfold junction makes the slip roads slow at peak, so for an early flight we build that into the pickup time rather than hope.
