Haslemere is a sleepy rural commuter town, really little more than a village situated within wooded hills, on the borders between Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex. The pretty town centre has a good mix of traditional, crafty and modern shops and is a pleasant place to relax but for the more active, the surrounding area is excellent for walking, especially Gibbet Hill, famous for both itŒs natural beauty and being the site of many hangings of highwaymen. Haslemere is also at one end of a 105 mile long footpath covering many areas of natural beauty to Ashford in Kent. There is a youth hostel at the bottom of the nearby spectacular crater known as the Devil‚s Punchbowl - and it certainly looks like one when it fills with flames from bush fires, all too common in the area. Soldiers can sometimes be seen parachuting from army helicopters here, plus it has a lovely hotel opposite the Punchbowl car park, situated on the side of the A3 going away from London, as it winds it‚s way around the lip of the mile deep crater. Though the crater-drive is even more exhilarating from the Portsmouth side, especially by motorcycle.
