About
Swan Barn Farm belongs because it gives Haslemere a uniquely close-to-town outdoor option with stronger character than a generic recreation ground. National Trust describes it as a quiet retreat of woodland and pasture only 30 seconds from Haslemere High Street, which neatly explains why locals value it so much.\n\nIt is not as dramatic as the Devil's Punch Bowl or Black Down, but it is exceptionally convenient and quietly one of the town's best assets.
