Haslemere sits at the southern tip of the borough of Waverley in Surrey, England, nestling among wooded hills and heathland where the county meets West Sussex and Hampshire. The town grew significantly after the arrival of the railway in the 19th century and today is bounded by attractive walking country associated with the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and landmarks such as nearby Hindhead and the Devil's Punch Bowl.
Despite a steady commuter flow into London, Haslemere retains a lively local centre of independent shops, galleries and the long-established Haslemere Museum, plus a strong community arts scene celebrated by local festivals. Economically and socially it combines an affluent, often professional population with long-standing local families and retirees, making it a quiet but culturally engaged town with easy access to countryside recreation.
