Guildford is the county town, retaining its traditional cobbled high street and riverside walks, but offering all the richness and amenities of a city, with excellent shopping and entertainment. Guided walks of the town offer an insight into the fascinating history of the area, taking in the castle keep, the 15th-century Guildhall and a wealth of other historic buildings.
The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty encompasses much of the surrounding countryside, which is dotted with picturesque villages and a wealth of gardens and houses to visit. Guildford’s attractions range from the 240 acre garden at Wisley to the 20th-century cathedral just outside the town and many are linked by the North Downs Way national trail.

privy garden of King William III is splendid, as are the clipped yews and
displays of 17thcentury plants. Quite simply a must.
