View of Fairlands Avenue above a Fairlands Road sign. The two roads in this residential outlier of Guildford cross each other at roughly right angles. The Avenue leads to the shops at the heart of the suburb of Fairlands; the Road is a service road, parallel to the main road, Aldershot Road.

The village sign sits in a large grassy roundabout in the centre of residential Fairlands. Fairlands is obviously proud of its parentage but it is really more of an outlying suburb of Guildford.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Fairlands Farm, north of Guildford, has had its surrounding fields turned into the Roker Park golf course. The farmhouse itself is an interesting example of a medieval building "done up" with a new Georgian front (not visible from this angle) in an 18th century attempt to keep up with the latest fashion. A look round the back reveals the true state of affairs. Taken from the entrance to the golf course looking south-east.
