Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A beautiful rural village on the borders of Cranborne Chase, Farnham was famous as the location of the Pitt-Rivers Museum. This huge collection of antiquities was created by General Pitt-Rivers. The museum is no longer in existence, though another museum of the same name is located in Oxford. The church of St Lawrence is an attractive medieval building, with the addition of Victorian remodelling.
