Pond Farm, our primary base on Wisley Common, is not readily accessible via public transport so the ability to drive and access to a vehicle is essential although suitable SWT work vehicles will be available. It will be necessary for you to be located within a 45-minute drive of either Pond Farm in Wisley (GU23 6QS), Bonhurst Farm in Bramley (GU5 0LA) or Elm Farm in Warlingham (CR6 9PE).
