Hiking
The acclaimed view looking down Guildford’s sloping High Street typifies the city’s rich historical and natural heritage. This iconic sight is only 200 m from Guildford Castle and is well worth seeing during a nearby hiking, cycling or running tour.
The ‘view’ encompasses historic buildings, a pedestrianised street of granite setts that slopes down to the Town Bridge over the River Wey, and the green and steep Mount hill on the North Downs which the historic Pilgrims Way drovers’ road between Guildford and Winchester used to wind its way over.
