About

Southwood Country Park is a 57-hectare area of natural green open space in Farnborough. The country park is split into two areas (east and west sides) and is a Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) with large populations of slow worms, common lizards, smooth and palmate newts. Five species of bats and wetland birds have been identified and it is a habitat for invertebrates, with nine nationally-scarce, and two nationally-rare species.

Features and facilities to the east include: a field centre, a café with toilets (open 7 days a week), picnic benches, playground and car park. The field centre is available for hire.
Features and facilities to the west include a network of formal and informal paths, with a 2.4 kilometre circular walking route and dog-proof fencing along the boundaries of Ively Road and car park.

Rushmoor Link Community Directory

Welcome to the Rushmoor Link community directory. This is the place to find very local information about activities, groups and community services. Whether you are looking for support, to improve your health and wellbeing, socialise more, get active, learn something new or find a place to meet, Rushmoor Link is a good place to start.

How to get started. Choose a category. Information is sorted into categories by service or organisation name. The directory focuses on what is available locally through statutory, community and voluntary organisations.

Next step. Once you have hit the category button, scroll through the results. You can use the keyword search to narrow down the information (e.g., dementia, Aldershot, football).

It’s a simple system packed full of information. We recommend you do not use punctuation marks like commas (,) or apostrophes (’).

Spotted a mistake or something is missing? Please do contact us if you are aware that any information is incorrect or missing via info@rvs.org.uk.

If you are looking for information about adult residential care or care at home care, please visit Connect to Support Hampshire. There you can find information about care providers as well as advice and guidance to help you stay safe and well.

Happy searching!
