Haslemere / United Kingdom

Haslemere is a town in the borough of Waverley in Surrey, England. It is north-east of the tripoint with Hampshire and West Sussex. Centred 12 miles southwest of Guildford, it is the most southerly town in Surrey. All parts of the town are east of the A3, the main road between London and Portsmouth which passes underneath Hindhead, adjoining the many small, wooded, hillside or hilltop neighbourhoods closely associated with the largely Victorian town itself. The town has a newer Shottermill part, west of its station so has two hubs of services, retail and high street leisure. The town's railway station is served by South Western Railway, with services between London Waterloo and Portsmouth. The River Wey , drains a little of the highest hill in Sussex, Black Down linked to Haslemere by the footpath and adjacent lane Tennyson's Lane, rising in six streams south and north-west of the town, which form small finger-like valleys. These unite to form a brook that follows the county boundary and another that follows the railway line, combining to form the river itself in a park in the west of the town. Despite these flows, much of the town, which sits close and high above these brooks, drains east into the basin of the Sussex river, the Arun the natural wooded headwaters of which have been recognised as part of the Surrey Hills AONB , and used for or kept as a series of natural attractions including the town's education museum, next to the town's main high street.
