Fire Safety Services in Cove
Cove is an ancient village that has evolved into the western suburb of Farnborough, in the Rushmoor district of Hampshire. Located around 33 miles southwest of London, it forms part of the Cove and Southwood ward. As of the 2021 census, the ward had just over 7,300 residents. Though now absorbed into the larger town of Farnborough, Cove maintains a distinct local identity and community character rooted in its village origins.
Its location offers excellent connectivity by both road and public transport. The A327 and Fernhill Road provide quick access to Farnborough town centre, the M3 motorway, and neighbouring areas such as Aldershot, Fleet, and Camberley. While Cove itself does not have a railway station, it is close to both Farnborough (Main) and Farnborough North stations, which offer regular services to London Waterloo, Reading, Guildford, and Gatwick. Bus routes also serve the area, linking it with other parts of Farnborough and the surrounding region.
Cove balances residential neighbourhoods with green corridors and community amenities. Cove Brook flows through the area and has been restored as part of the Cove Brook Greenway—a two-mile nature route featuring footpaths, wildlife habitats, and volunteer-led stewardship. The area provides access to recreational spaces and the Blackwater Valley, while many residents commute to work in Farnborough’s business parks or further afield in sectors such as aerospace, defence, technology, healthcare, and logistics.
Local amenities include Cove School, a secondary school with approximately 880 pupils, as well as primary schools and a range of shops and services along Cove Road. The area is known for its strong community spirit, with active neighbourhood groups and a high sense of belonging among residents. Cove offers a peaceful, family-friendly environment with access to green space and the wider employment and leisure opportunities of Farnborough and the surrounding towns.
