About Guildford
Guildford - Surrey's Historic County Town
Guildford is one of England's most prosperous and desirable towns, combining medieval heritage with modern affluence. The famous cobbled High Street, one of the steepest in Britain, has been a market place for over 900 years and is lined with independent shops, historic buildings, and the iconic Guildhall clock (1683). Guildford Castle, built by William the Conqueror, offers panoramic views from its keep. The University of Surrey on Stag Hill is a leading research institution with strengths in engineering, hospitality management, and space science, including the Surrey Space Centre. Guildford Cathedral, completed in 1961, is a striking modernist building in brick that crowns the hilltop and famously appeared in the film "The Omen." Surrey Research Park, adjacent to the university, is one of the UK's leading science and technology parks housing over 140 companies. The town offers excellent shopping at The Friary Centre, live entertainment at G Live and the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, and peaceful riverside walks along the River Wey.
