About

Farnham Castle should lead because it is the town's clearest heritage anchor and the attraction most closely tied to Farnham's identity. Even with ongoing maintenance affecting parts of the site, the castle remains central to the visitor experience and the wider grounds and tours still matter hugely.\n\nFor a place-led guide, it is the strongest must-include. Few attractions say Farnham more clearly.
