Latest Guildford Review

Guildford is somewhat maligned in the press; this is unjustified because it has an amazing variety of things to see and do. I cannot imagine one day being enough to try to do everything. Guildford has, afterall, a cathedral, a castle, a stunning museum, art galleries, the River Wey and the canal not to mention a number of theatres and cultural events.
