Haslemere in the borough of Waverley, Surrey, England sits on the southern edge of the Surrey Hills AONB, close to the borders with Hampshire and West Sussex. Nestled among heathland and wooded ridges and within easy reach of the dramatic Devil's Punch Bowl at Hindhead, it’s popular with walkers and nature lovers. The town expanded in the Victorian era after the arrival of the railway and its station on the Portsmouth Direct Line gives straightforward links to London and Portsmouth; a compact high street of Georgian and Victorian buildings hosts independent shops, cafés and regular local markets.
Culturally, Haslemere has a long‑running educational museum, an active arts scene, community festivals and good local schools, which together with the attractive surrounding countryside help explain its appeal and relatively high house prices. The local economy blends tourism, small businesses and commuters, and the town retains a village‑like social feel despite its good connections and market‑town role within Waverley.
