Cove & Southwood

GU14 0

Family-friendly

Cove has its own identity, slightly separate from Farnborough proper. There's a small parade of shops and it feels like its own village in places, particularly around the older part near Cove Brook. Housing is a mix of 1930s semis and newer builds. Southwood sits between Cove and the airfield, with some ex-MOD housing alongside newer private estates. Cove has a few pubs and a community feel that some other parts of Farnborough lack. Southwood Golf Club takes up a decent chunk of green space on the southern edge.
