The Farnham Castle ward sits at the heart of the market town of Farnham in the borough of Waverley, Surrey, England. It centres on the medieval castle and its adjacent parkland, with chalk downland and the River Wey close by and within easy reach of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The ward combines conservation areas, Georgian and Victorian streets and a busy town centre with independent shops and cultural venues such as Farnham Maltings. Locally the economy leans on tourism, specialist retail and professional services with many residents commuting to London; socially it’s relatively affluent with active community groups and a strong historic identity tied to the castle and museum.
