Transport links
Both Bordon and Whitehill straddle the very busy A325 road and the A3 road London to Portsmouth road passes through the parish (though not the town itself). The completion of the Hindhead Tunnel in Surrey in July 2011, has improved road access to London.
The nearest railway stations are at Liss, four miles south of the village, and Liphook four miles south-east. Whitehill used to have its own station on the Longmoor Military Railway but this closed in 1969. The Association of Train Operating Companies has proposed that a new railway line serve the town.[1]
