When the kids get tired of looking around the monuments you can take them along to Guildford Lido with its outdoor pool for cooling off in the long hot summers.

Historic Guildford

Stay at a comfortable B&B, guesthouse or hotel in Surrey and you'll easily be able to access the many delights of the Guildford area. The town itself is the county town of Surrey and has been settled since Saxon days. The small Norman castle mentioned above is a relic of slightly later times after the Conquest, but there was some sort of defensive building on the site long before the French arrived! Guildford's high street is remarkable and rightly famous for its numerous Tudor buildings, such as the magnificent Guildhall. From your hotel in Guildford you can easily access local sights such as Box Hill, Clandon Park and Chawton, home to Jane Austen's House and perfect for a day trip.
