• Holy Trinity Church - Constructed in the 1750s, Holy Trinity Church replaced the medieval church that collapsed in 1740. It is a Palladian church, inspired by Roman architecture. The original church likely dates back to around 950, coinciding with the establishment of the high street. The church features the Renaissance tomb of an Archbishop of Canterbury and a Georgian pulpit.
• The Three Pigeons, Guildford - Across the street is The Three Pigeons, one of Guildford’s oldest pubs, dating back to the mid-1700s. It is reputed to be haunted!
• Tunsgate Arch - In the 16th and 17th centuries, corn merchants conducted their business on the ground floor of the Guildhall, and the space has hosted a variety of events over the years.
• Guildford Castle - Visitors can access the castle gardens, royal bowls green, and moat area of the castle keep. Built by William the Conqueror or one of his barons shortly after the Norman invasion of 1066, the castle served as a royal residence and fortress but was never attacked. It became a prison in 1256 under Henry III when the sheriff of Guildford took custody of the castle, continuing until 1487. In 1885, Lord Grantley of Wonersh sold the castle and grounds to the Guildford Corporation. The tower and walls were restored and opened to the public as a pleasure garden in 1888, following Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.
• Guildford Castle Gardens - Discover the history of the Kings and Queens who visited Guildford Castle, as well as the prisoners held in the castle keep.
• Guildford - Visit the town’s oldest church, featuring a medieval wall painting. Lewis Carroll would preach here during his visits from Oxford. The current shopping center is located on the site of a Dominican friary. Friars, known for their distinctive black habits, studied, taught, and even cultivated walnut trees on the ten acres of surrounding land.
• White House Guildford - The bridge by the White House spans the River Wey, where summer markets are often held. The River Wey was one of the first British rivers to be made navigable, opening to barge traffic in 1653. A 20-mile route between Godalming and the Thames was established as a trade highway to London. Horse-drawn barges carried up to 30 tons, transporting oak to the Thames for shipbuilding and corn to the mills along the waterways. This trade route passes through heathland, woodland, and water meadows, home to species such as snipe, lapwing, and kingfisher.
