Guildford is a town on the outskirts of London, and just a short drive from the M25. The town is situated in Surrey, which is one of the most prosperous and affluent parts of the United Kingdom; designer shops, restaurants, cafes and boutiques are prevalent around the Guildford area.
Guildford also has a fascinating history, with relics from the Norman conquests such as Guildford Castle, as well as stately homes, chapels and churches. The newly developed modern amenities are also a treat, so if you're hiring a car in Guildford it means you can explore both the old and new.
New developments like the G-Live concert venue have really put Guildford on the cultural map, but for those who enjoy heritage, history and a bit of nature, you'll enjoy sights like Clandon Park – which has free parking. The park lies outside the confines of the town centre using the A246, and is easily accessible by car.
Losely Park and Losely House can be found roughly four miles outside Guildford. Guildford Castle and Guildford Cathedral give the town a real sense of history, with the castle being very much the symbol of the town.
