Farnham & surrounding area
Upper Froyle is the older, upper half of Froyle parish, clustered around the church and the manor on lanes climbing north off the A31. It is known as the village of the saints for the nineteen statues set into niches on its buildings, brought from Italy by Sir Hubert Miller. Taxi work here means those lanes, unlit and single-track, rather than the main road.

Toward Aldershot
Same drivers, same phone number, wherever you're starting from.

Two miles east on the Alton line, and the practical rail option from the village.
Ryebridge Lane and the climbing lanes are narrow in places, so staged arrivals work better.

Local knowledge
Froyle is a parish of only 644 people split into two halves: Upper Froyle around the church and manor, and Lower Froyle, the larger part, around the old farms to the north. Upper Froyle is genuinely rural, heavy with listed buildings and inside a conservation area, and the A31 runs immediately below it.
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. Froyle Park on Ryebridge Lane is the address that comes up most by a wide margin. St Mary's Church, whose foundation goes back to Domesday where the place appears as Froli, sits at the centre. The Hen and Chicken Inn on the A31 was built in 1746 as a coaching chaise house, and the village garage and shop are the other fixed points.
Everything here turns on Froyle Park. A 400-guest venue with 66 beds, reached by narrow lanes off a fast A-road, produces one concentrated late-night movement that does not work well improvised. Weekend transfers to Farnham, Alton, Farnborough and Heathrow are effectively taxi-only from this village.
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 Upper Froyle.
Yes, it is one of the venues we work most. Froyle Place is a Grade II* Jacobean manor of 1620 set in 80 acres, licensed for up to 400 guests but with only 66 beds on site, so a large share of the party needs taking back to Farnham, Alton or a hotel at the end of the night.
Off the A31 onto Ryebridge Lane. The approach lanes are single-track in places, which is why we stage arrivals and departures rather than sending every car at once.
No. Treloar School occupied the site here from 1953 but has relocated to Holybourne near Alton, so it is no longer a destination in the village.
Bentley, about two miles east on the Alton branch. Alton itself is roughly four miles south-west. There is no station in the village.
