This is where the A30 separates into the Old Portsmouth Road, (left fork), and the A30 through Camberly (right fork). Situated on the roundabout is a golf pro shop which used to be the Jolly Farmer pub. Originally this was a posting inn situated at the top of the long drag up from Bagshot. The inn was originally called "The Golden Farmer" after a local farmer whose source of wealth was a mystery, until a highwayman was captured and found to be one and the same person ! The Basing Stone, which marks the parish boundary can be seen on the left hand side of the road.
