When my friend Sylvia and I started making plans to spend a week touring around southern England, she suggested staying in Guildford, and it turned out to be a great idea! The history of Guildford dates back to the 10th century - back then it was a small Saxon village, which gradually turned into a town, complete with its own castle built after the Norman invasion. Today, Guildford is a small college city with a big town feel. It is located at a very convenient distance from London (about 40 minutes by train) and its busy railway station makes it a great (and relatively cheap) place to stay when you are visiting southern England. I would definitely think about staying in Guildford again next time I'm in England! |

Guildford appears to be a place that would tickle my fancy. I enjoy places that give me an opportunity to be outside, walk around, and to speak with people. Were the locals friendly? | MikeDarcy Sun Jul 13, 2008 13:44 UTC
