Guildford is set amidst beautiful countryside dotted with typical English villages, traditional pubs, garden attractions and stately homes, village greens and rural hotels.

These rural locations offer havens of tranquillity if you need a break from the buzz of life in the town. The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers a large percentage of the countryside surrounding Guildford. Its expanse of rolling hills and woodlands even has its own brand of produce, which can be bought in the local shops.
