Location
Slades Farm is situated 5 miles south of Guildford with easy access 2 miles off the A281 at Palmers Cross (GU5 0LL). In order to avoid large lorries meeting on the lane between Palmers Cross and Slades Farm, we have introduced a NEW ONE-WAY SYSTEM. ALL VEHICLES must now turn RIGHT when they exit Slades Farm and follow the exit route suitable for that transport (see map below).
We welcome and encourage ALL feedback (positive or negative) about this new route. Please send such feedback to info@sladesfarm.co.uk, rather than posting on social media. We will do our very best to rectify any problems that you may have. Many thanks.
