Bagshot is a small village in the southeast of England. It is situated in the northwest corner of Surrey within the county's Surrey Heath council district, close to the border with Berkshire, and is also in the diocese of Guildford. In the past, Bagshot served as an important staging post between London, Southampton and the West Country. Evidence of this can be seen in some of the original coaching inns that are still there today.
The village is situated 43 kilometres (27 mi) southwest of London, adjacent to junction 3 of the M3 motorway and is split in half by the A30 road, midway between Camberley and Sunningdale. Much of the surrounding land is owned by the Ministry of Defence. The area is in the Green Belt that surrounds London. It is served by Bagshot railway station.
Recent excavations have shown that settlements of Bagshot date back as far as pre-Roman, before these excavations it was thought that the earliest settlements in Bagshot were late Saxon. Late Bronze Age settlements have been identified in the area, and iron smelting appears to have been a major 'industry' in the locality. Bagshot at one time included a Royal forest. It had a Royal hunting lodge certainly through Stuart and Tudor times, now called Bagshot Park, which is now the residence of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
In Elizabethan times (late 16th century) Bagshot prospered due to its position on the main London to the West Country road (The Great South West Road, now classified as the A30). As with many villages on main coaching routes, Bagshot developed services, inns for the stagecoach passengers, and stables to provide the coaches with fresh horses.
The prosperity of the Great South West Road created its share of highwaymen, one of the most notorious being William Davis, a local farmer who lived near what is known locally as the Jolly Farmer roundabout in Camberley. He was eventually caught at the White Hart Inn in Bagshot and later was hanged at the gallows in Gibbets Lane in Camberley. Not one to avoid suspicion he always paid his debts in gold! It was after him that the pub was called the Golden Farmer. The Golden Farmer (now Jolly Farmer), was eventually sold to American Golf Discount Store, who still use the old building. Burger King had plans to build a fast food restaurant there but has since been cancelled as the roundabout was considered too dangerous and was near Collingwood School.
Bagshot has five churches: Church of England (St. Anne's); Roman Catholic (Christ the King); Methodist, Evangelical (Brook Church) and Jehovah's Witnesses. St Anne's Church is 120 years old and was built in a Gothic Revival style under the patronage of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught who lived in the nearby Bagshot Park. It is a building in red brick with stone detail under a slate roof. There is a bell tower with a peal of eight bells. It is a grade II listed building and is situated in a conservation area.
Pennyhill Park Hotel located at the far western edge of Bagshot is where the England rugby team train. Bagshot Park, home of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex is located on the northern edge of the town. The A30 leaving Bagshot to the southwest for Camberley has a large roundabout on it called the Jolly Farmer after a public house that used to stand in its centre, now used as a Golfing Store.
The local borough, Surrey Heath, is mainly a Conservative area and it has held a Conservative council for the past 50 years. Bagshot itself is, however, represented by two Liberal Democrat and one Conservative borough councillors. Bagshot is working (2009/2010) on a Village Plan. The Bagshot Village Plan aims to pull together the people of Bagshot's collected hopes and concerns for the community and to set out a plan for making Bagshot an even better place to live and work.

29 Facts You Probably Didn't Know About The Holiday | Newsday
29 Facts You Probably Didn't Know About The Holiday
1. The boob graze line came about because Jack Black accidentally boob grazed director Nancy Meyers and then apologised. She found it so funny that she wrote their interaction into the script the next day.
2. Meyers wrote Black's part for him, after she fell in love with his performance in School Of Rock.
3. By the time she'd finished writing the script, Meyers knew she wanted to castJude Law, Cameron Diaz, and Kate Winslet too.
4. At first Black was sceptical about doing a rom com, but then Meyer told him he'd get to be in a movie with Winslet and he said yes.
5. After filming, Winslet said Trust me, it was not difficult to fall in love with Jack Black. At all.
6. The website that Amanda and Iris use to swap houses is real.
7. But Iris's house Rose Hill Cottage is not. It was built as part of the film set.
8. It only took four days to build the house, but the landscaping and gardening took two weeks because set designers had to make the house look old.
9. Amanda's mansion is, however, a real place in San Marino, California.
10. The English village scenes are filmed in Godalming and Shere in Surrey.
11. And the pub featured is real: It's The White Horse in Shere.
12. In the week of making the film it snowed three times in Surrey, even though the crew had hired a snow machine because they thought it wasn't going to
13. Meyers knows Lindsay Lohanbecause she directed The Parent Trap. She convinced Lohan to film a fake movie trailer for The Holiday by telling her she owed her. Lohan was immediately up for it.
14. Then James Franco, who knew Lindsay Lohan, signed up too.
15. Eli Wallach turned 90 during filming. The crew got him a cake.
16. Diaz kept her character's clothes after filming.
17. In the film Law plays Iris's brother. In real life, he has a daughter called Iris.
18. Law's favourite part of the film was working with the girls who played his daughters Sophie and Olivia.
19. It was their first film.
20. Emma Pritchard, who plays Olivia (right), is now a teenager. Miffy Englefield, who plays Sophie (left), is now in college. This is what she looks like:
21. When Iris first arrives at Amanda's LA house she picks out a film to watch, before Jack Black's character arrives. The movie she selects is Punch-Drunk Love, a film about an American man who dates a British woman.
22. The song Kill The Director by the Wombats is about The Holiday. It features the lyrics, This is no Bridget Jones! and If this is a rom com, kill the director.
23. Rufus Sewell plays the guy who Kate Winslet's character is in love with. In real life, they dated for three months in the mid-'90s.
24. At one point in the film, Winslet and Wallach's characters talk about how Cary Grant was from Surrey. He was actually from Bristol.
25. The DVD commentary claims that Amanda's clumsiness is based on Meyers.
26. Winslet's dance when she first arrives in LA was improvised.
27. Her video shop scene with Black was also largely improvised.
28. The crew removed all of Winslet and Black's films from the video shop so it wouldn't be distracting.
29. According to the film's DVD commentary, Dustin Hoffman was never supposed to have a cameo in that scene. He was having lunch near the film shop's set, stopped because there were lots of cameras, and ended up appearing in the movie because he knows Meyers.

Were they dreaming of a White Christmas when a massive snowfall swept Britain on the evening of 25 December 1927? As the snow fell, newsreel cameras scoured the country for idyllic scenes of sledging and snowball fights like the ones seen here. One stuck-fast motorist isn't quite so charmed by the arctic conditions, but it's party time for the polar bears and penguins at Regent's Park Zoo!
