As a quintessentially English gem, Farnham boasts a storied past dating back to the Neolithic and Roman periods, evident in archaeological finds such as a woolly mammoth tusk and indications of early pottery production. The Saxon-originated name "Farnham" translates to a "meadow where ferns grow" - giving a pulse to its rustic charm.

Today, the vibrant echo of its rich past blends into its embrace of the creative arts, a reminder of its uniqueness at every narrow, cobbled lane.

When to visit Farnham

The best time to explore Farnham's delightful corners is between the mild springs and the golden autumns, when the temperature is just right. July and August are often the hottest, but still bearably warm - perfect for leisurely riverside strolls or a visit to nearby Hampshire. However, if you want to avoid tourist crowds, consider planning your visit during the less busy seasons, like December which could also be the least expensive time.
