Punch Bowl Farm

Punch Bowl Farm

Punch Bowl Farm is a farm in the south-west of the English county of Surrey, near the Devil's Punch Bowl. It became famous in the 1950s and 1960s when the English children's writer Monica Edwards, who at that point lived at the farm with her husband (its then farmer Bill Edwards) wrote a series of books set there, with the farm's name restyled as "Punchbowl Farm".
