A quaint town with historical royal and literary links

Station nameboard
Haslemere is the highest station on the Portsmouth Line, and the southernmost town in Surrey.
The town dates from the 13th century, but most of what you can see today was built after the arrival of the railway in 1859.
We're enormously proud of our history, which includes a Royal Charter, signed by Queen Elizabeth I, and links with literary giants such as Alfred Lord Tennyson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, George Bernard Shaw and George Eliot.

Blue plaque trail salutes town's famous names and events

Picture

Our partner, The Haslemere Society, runs the Haslemere  Blue Plaque Trail, which identifies local buildings associated with famous people and events.

Find your first blue plaque outside the Info Hub at Haslemere Station.

To learn about all 15 plaques on the trail, pick up a leaflet at the Info Hub. The leaflet contains a map, headline details of the plaques and QR codes which take you to the full story behind each.

Alternatively, visit the Haslemere Society website.

Enhancing the visitor experience

Haslemere Info Hub is staffed by volunteers and is open as much as possible on weekdays and at weekends, especially from May to October.
It offers tourism advice, helping you to make the most of your time in the area. It also showcases local social and sporting events and businesses.
Situated in an annexe to the Victorian station building, the Hub is prominent on the station forecourt – affording easy access for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
The station is also served by buses to Guildford, Midhurst, Farnham, Alton and Aldershot.
In addition to ensuring you a warm welcome, Haslemere Community Station volunteers keep the station looking good by maintaining the flower beds on the platforms.
New volunteers are always welcome

Haslemere and the Community Rail Partnership


Haslemere Info Hub is the public face of  Haslemere Community Station – part of the Surrey Hills to South Downs Community Rail Partnership.
The CRP promotes the area served by stations at Farncombe, Godalming, Milford, Witley and Haslemere as gateways to the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills – and the many attractions between them that are within easy reach of the railway line.
The partnership involves local and regional organisations working with South Western Railway, with guidance from the Community Rail Network.
The Info Hub complements the activities of Visit Haslemere, at Haslemere Educational Museum.
