앨버리 워렌 주변 최고의 도시 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Nice quick shortcut into town. Some big steps though

The listed 19th century mill is now used as offices. The building is not open to the public but is clearly visible from Woking Street. Today, Surrey's largest daily newspaper, the "Surrey Advertiser", has its headquarters here.

Delightful narrow path through a small forest, always directly along the shore. It is accordingly muddy, we recommend hiking boots/wellies!

Part of the huge Stoke Park grounds, the garden is a favourite spot! With several ponds, a children's paddling pool, an ice cream parlour, bridges and generally wonderful plants, it is sure to delight the hearts of all! The garden is closed (fenced) after sunset

The whole park is a dream and has great bike paths (separated from pedestrians) If you like, you can park your bikes for a while and look at the garden. Very worthwhile, but only on foot. The café is very small and more of an ice cream stand 😉

look out for the famous clock, The Guildford Guildhall Historic Clock, which projects over the High Street from the Guildhall, and which has regularly appeared on television.

These concrete obstacles were constructed from 1941 during the Second World War and were intended impede the movement of invading German tanks and other armoured vehicles. They constitute perhaps the best surviving example of dragon’s teeth emplacement in Surrey. They are so well preserved that some people even wonder if they are post-war imitations created for TV or a film programme! These defences descend the slope through Thorneycroft Wood to the edge of a channel of the River Wey. They comprise five rows of dragon’s teeth which take the form of flat-topped pyramids made of reinforced concrete. Some of these pyramids are capped by jagged bits of metal that would have supported wire tangles to obstruct passage between and over the dragon’s teeth. Nearby there are also at least three rifle pits formed with cement-filled sandbags.

This wonderful Jacobean building was founded in 1619 by George Abbot who was Archbishop of Canterbury. Abbot’s Hospital is an almshouse situated at the top of Guildford High Street opposite Holy Trinity Church where George Abbot is buried. The building has become a landmark throughout the centuries and is well worth a visit! Abbot’s Hospital was George Abbot’s gift to the place of his birth. For over 400 years it has provided homes to local residents aged over 60 who are of modest means and of good character. At the time of writing there is accommodation for 27 residents. When the front doors are open passersby can view the fine courtyard inside. There are also regular tours of the ‘Hospital’ to learn about its fascinating history, fine architecture and well-kept grounds (please see https://www.abbotshospital.org/visits-tours/ for timings).
