Puttenham, Surrey

Puttenham is a village in Surrey, England, located just south of the Hog's Back which is the narrowest stretch of the North Downs.

Puttenham is about midway between the towns of Guildford and Farnham, and can be accessed from the A31 trunk road which runs along the spine of the Hog's Back.

Puttenham is situated in an east–west stretch of the Vale of Holmesdale in Surrey, called Puttenham Vale – which stretches between the towns of Guildford in the east and Farnham in the west, and runs parallel to and immediately south of the narrow Hog's Back section of the chalk North Downs (along which the A31 trunk road runs).

The houses of Puttenham mainly line the road 'The Street' that runs through it from west to east, making it a largely linear settlement.

Its domesday assets were owned by the Bishop of Bayeux and were: 1 plough, 2 acres (0.81 ha) of meadow, woodland worth 4 hogs.

[10] The course is a mixture of heath and woodland, the tree-lined fairways have a particularly splendid backcloth of colour with attractive areas of heather and many species of wild flowers.

Finally decommissioned after being subsumed into Guildford, the exchange was sold in 2017 with planning permission for conversion to two private residences.
