Hambledon Hydestile is a hamlet in Waverley, south-west Surrey. It is around 2 + 1/2 mi south of Godalming between the villages of Busbridge and Hambledon, straddling their civil parish borders. One landmark of the hamlet is Hydon's Ball, a large woodland and promontory of the Greensand Ridge, the site is within National Trust land and free to visitors.

History

Main article: Busbridge#History, Hambledon, Surrey#History

Hydestile was the site for two hospitals built on land that formed part of the Busbridge Hall Estate: from 1921 King George V Hospital (formerly a TB sanatorium) and from 1941 St Thomas' Hospital (formed from the World War II evacuation of St Thomas' Hospital in Lambeth). The hospitals were demolished and redeveloped in the late 1990s following years of disuse and dereliction. The only visible remains are the Gatehouse, the former Superintendent's house, six staff cottages and a cluster of footings amongst the woods.

Geography

The hamlet is centred on the crossroads of Hambledon Road and Salt Lane. To the south-east is the steeper of two neighbouring outcrops of the Greensand Ridge. Elevations range from 74 m in the narrow wooded vale of the Shad Well spring, that issues near the central crossroads of the hamlet and flows to the north, to 117 m AOD less than a mile to the east.

To the west, the hamlets of Enton Green and Great Enton share one 2011 census output area (of between 50 and 150 homes), and their surrounding terrain is flatter; they are mentioned in the article on their civil parish, Hambledon.
