Guildford Castle

A map of Guildford town centre and the positioning of the Castle can be found on the right hand side of this page.

In 2003 - 2004 the Great Tower was conserved and the original crenulations and other features were discovered.

A roof and floor were re-instated at first floor level, which has made the building more accessible to visitors. The Tower contains a model of the original castle circa 1300, and interpretation panels tracing its history to the present day.

There is a visitor platform on the roof offering panoramic views of Guildford.

There is a small gift shop on the ground floor of the castle.
