Weybourne lies to the northeast of Farnham, bordering the villages of Hale, Heath End and Badshot Lea as well as the town of Aldershot to the north.

[2] The name of the village may derive from that of the house, which in turn is made up of two elements: "Wey", being the name of the river running through Farnham, and 'bourne" or "burn" meaning 'stream'.

Weybourne House is the birthplace of John Henry Knight (born 1847), the pioneering motorist and auto-mobile manufacturer, who lived there until his family moved to Barfield in Runfold, Farnham.

Weybourne is represented, along with Badshot Lea, at Waverley Borough Council by two councillors: Andrew Laughton (Farnham Residents) and Richard Steijger (Liberal Democrat).

The village is within the Church of England Parish of Badshot Lea and Hale which in turn is in the Deanery of Farnham, part of the Diocese of Guildford.
