This small medieval town on the Surrey border is widely known to be the most haunted town in England, and certainly is an interesting place to chill out with some gorgeous Georgian architecture and even a castle which is still in use today. Some of Farnham‚s most frequent and consistent ghosts are to be found 5 miles away at a riding school built on the site of an old priory? cloaked monks with glowing red eyes who suddenly vanish, leaving a frosted patch, are seen but occasionally one gets to nearly stroke a phantom horse. Unfortunately this is private land, though, if you ask nicely you might get a ghostly tour, but beware if you ever find yourself riding on the cross country course - it was built on an ancient graveyard? Numerous ancient legends of the supernatural are abound in surrounding Frensham Common, including a tree which no horse will go past and a massive slab of rock perched precariously on top of a small hill, thrown during a contest between Thor and the Devil. A mile or so out of Farnham town centre, Waverley Abbey is extremely spooky at sunset but if you really want to scare yourself, try and find the locally known nearby Œwitches‚ cave which an escaped panther is alleged to occasionally use for shelter. Explore Farnham this Halloween. Or you could go 3 miles away to Bird World. Which now has an Underwater World too with a crocodile marsh. Linked by the wonderful A31 via the panoramic ridge of the Hog‚s Back to Guildford, though the locals pubs are mostly outstanding, it is easy enough to find a nightlife away from Farnham‚s many ghosts and there is plenty of budget shopping in nearby Aldershot for those finding Farnham a little pricey.
