Whitmoor Common Whitmoor Common is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest covering 166 hectares (410 acres). It includes heathland and woodland; a network of paths makes it easily accessible to the public.

The Jolly Farmer, Worplesdon It is good to see a pub deep in the Surrey countryside that appears to be thriving. It was built in the mid 18th century and is now a Fuller's house with a beer garden to the rear. It stands adjacent to Whitmoor Common.

The Jolly Farmer, Worplesdon - pub sign The artist for this Fuller's pub sign has chosen a curious image featuring an American tractor built by Case. For many years Case was a major manufacturer of agricultural machinery in the USA but the company did not enter the British market until it acquired David Brown Tractors of Yorkshire in the 1970s - long after the machine featured here would have been a museum piece.
