A stop on the North Downs Way
The North Downs Way runs directly through Puttenham, and the village pub, The Good Intent, is a well-known stopping point for walkers on the route, with Puttenham Barn sitting on the path opposite the parish church.
Midway between Guildford and Farnham
Puttenham sits roughly halfway between Guildford and Farnham, with neighbouring Wanborough, Shackleford and Compton all within easy reach, giving it a position more connected to Guildford's side of the Hog's Back than to Godalming directly.
Council
Guildford Borough Council covers Puttenham, a different authority from the one responsible for Godalming.
