Frensham Ponds in Farnham

Frensham Ponds (in Frensham Common)

Frensham Common is owned by the National Trust, but most of the land is managed by Waverley Borough Council. The Common comprises a large area of heathland, together with some coniferous and mixed woodland, and two large ponds, known as Frensham Great and Little Ponds

While sailing and fishing are reserved for members, the banks of the pond are sandy and offer a natural inland beach for visitors to enjoy
