Also on the record
Special area of conservation 448 m away: Burnham Beeches; SSSI 448 m away: Burnham Beeches SSSI; Inside the Farnham Common and Farnham Royal built-up area; Green belt 22 m away: London; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
