HASLEMERE

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 50 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HASLEMERE , a market-town in the Guildford
parliamentary
  division of Surrey, England, 43 M. S.W. from London by the
London &
South
 -Western railway. It is situated in an elevated valley between the bold ridges of Hindhead (895 ft.) and Black-down (918 ft.). Their summits are open and covered with heath, but their flanks and the
lower
  ground are magnificently wooded. The hills are deeply scored by steep and picturesque valleys, of which the most remarkable is the Devil's Punch Bowl, a hollow of
regular
  form omthewest flank of Hindhead. The invigorating air has combined with scenic attraction to make the
district
  a favourite
place
  of residence. Professor Tyndall built a
house
  on the top of Hindhead, setting an example followed by many others. On Blackdown, closely screened by plantations, is Aldworth, built for Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who died here in 1892. George Eliot stayed for a considerable period at Shotter-
mill, a neighbouring
village
 . Pop. of Haslemere (1901), 2614; of Hindhead, 666.
