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 or Bonhurst Farm in Bramley.
