Virtual Tour - Farnborough Hill

You've made it to Farnborough Hill, the former residence of the Empress Eugenie who was married to the exiled Napoleon III of France. The estate is now a private girls school. Where to now? Running past the estate is the busy Farnborough Road, with Highgate Lane lying between St. Michael's Abbey, the site of Napoleon III's mausoleum. The Clockhouse, Victoria Road, and the former site of Brands Removals store are a little further South. To the North are the former sites of the Miniature Railway, the RAE recreation ground and sports club, and Farnborough Football Club on Cherrywood Road.
