Guildford

Guildford town, defined visually by its stunning High Street with its historic setts and beautiful architecture, is a riverside town.   

With plenty to see and do, events, fabulous shopping and array of pubs and restaurants, Guildford is a great place to visit.  The vibrant town  has been recognised as a safe and enjoyable place for a night out with lots to offer and has been awarded Purple Flag status.  With so much going on, you’ll find plenty to do on a longer stay.    

As you look up Guildford High Street you can see a combination of many periods of history and architectures, most with a story behind as can be told with all anecdotes included, by our local town guides. Guildford is proud of its history and heritage which dates back to Saxon times when it was known as Golden (guilden) Ford. The ruins on Guildford’s Norman castle form a beautiful backdrop to the award-winning castle grounds and the intact Mediaeval Great Tower offers panoramic views of the whole town from the top.   

We invite you to come and visit our bustling, historic town set in beautiful countryside and discover for yourself all that Guildford has to offers.
