Hindhead
Hindhead is a village in Surrey, England. It is the greatest village in Surrey, with structures at between 185 as well as 253 metres over sea level. It is best referred to as the area of the Devil's Punch Bowl, a beauty spot as well as site of special scientific interest, and also as the site of the Hindhead crossroads, a formerly well-known blockage place, where the A3 between Portsmouth as well as London was crossed by the A287 in between Hook as well as Haslemere. The A3 currently passes under Hindhead in the Hindhead Tunnel and also its route along the Punch Bowl has actually been removed and landscaped, yet the crossroads still exists for regional traffic. Hindhead is centred 10.5 miles (16.9 km) south-west of Guildford, the county town of Surrey, on the boundary with the area of Hampshire. It is a ward within the area of Waverley, and also types part of the civil parish of Haslemere. The ward, which includes Beacon Hill, had a population of 3,874 at the 2001 census, boosting to a population of 4,292 at the 2011 Census. The place-name "Hindhead" is first proved in 1571, and suggests "hillside frequented by hinds", or female deer.
