The A3 bypasses Petersfield on its way between Portsmouth and Guildford, and the A272 crosses it east to west. The town centre has a market square and narrow streets, while the Heath, with its pond, lies to the south-east.

Being inside a national park does not change how a car is scrapped. It does mean many homes are on country lanes, which are worth describing when you book.

Hangers and hollow lanes

North of the town, around Steep, steep wooded slopes called hangers rise above sunken lanes. They are beautiful, but tight for larger vehicles. A note about the lane and any turning space helps the driver choose the right recovery truck.
