It is a lovely park which lies between South Street, Longbridge and Union Road. Gostrey Meadow was created in 1910 as a recreational area for the residents of Farnham. The name comes from the 17th Century meadows, part of the Bush Hotel estate, which were known as Gostreeds.
Today the park is used by both visitors and locals alike and you often see all sectors of the community using it for a lazy summer afternoon or a tranquil picnic.
