Places of interest in Petersfield, GU35
Immediately on ascending the hill called Whitesheet, we find ourselves surrounded by British antiquities. The road intersects an ancient earthen work, of a circular form, and which, from the slightness of its vallum, appears to have been of high antiquity. Adjoining it is a large barrow, which we opened in October 1807, and found it had contained a skeleton, and had been investigated before.
The town has several shops spread throughout the town, but no central shopping district, such as a high street; the town was historically an army camp on a former toll road to Farnham, not a market-town like the nearby towns of Petersfield, Alton and Farnham. The town has a range of facilities including three of supermarkets, various takeaways, and amenities such as two petrol stations. Also located within the town is Mill Chase Community Technology College, a comprehensive school designated a community technology college. It also doubles as a leisure centre. The town also benefits from The Phoenix, a community theatre and arts centre. The Phoenix also provides Adult learning classes for leisure learners and adults with learning disabilities, as well as Kids Drama, Youth Theatre and Art classes.
Ludshott Common is one of the largest remaining areas of heathland in East Hampshire. It lies parallel to and south of the B3002 road between Headley Down to the west and Grayshott to the east. It covers 285 hectares (700 acres) and is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Protection Area (SPA) due to the number of endangered species, including Woodlark, Nightjar and Dartford Warbler. There are also a great many spiders and butterflies, including Silver-Studded Blue, Grayling and Green Hairstreak. [1]
The nearest railway station is 2.1 miles (3.4 km) southeast of the village, at Haslemere.
The Inclosure (see Inclosure Act) of the commons and wastelands occurred in 1864. Station Road, St Mary's Road, Western Road, the shopping area, the beginning of Hill Brow Road, Andlers Ash Road, Liss Forest Road, Mint Road, the original village school and the Village Hall were all built on inclosed land. Under the Inclosure Award the West Liss Recreation Ground, the four allotments sites "for the labouring poor of the parish" and a number of roads were created. In 1894 the management of the village's affairs, hitherto undertaken by the Vestry, was transferred to the newly formed Parish Council.
