Farnham North West sits to the north‑west of the historic market town of Farnham in the borough of Waverley, Surrey. The ward is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces, inter‑war and modern housing and handy pockets of green space that give quick access to the wooded hills and open farmland edging the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; the River Wey and local parks provide pleasant walking routes close to the neighbourhood.
Locally the area benefits from a strong community feel, small independent shops and schools, and relatively easy links to Guildford and London by road and rail via Farnham railway station, so many residents commute further afield for work. Historic attractions in the wider town such as Farnham Castle and arts venues including the Maltings add a cultural buzz, while the ward itself tends to be quieter and family‑oriented with active local groups, allotments and recreational clubs.
