Castle
Guildford Castle is a gorgeous place, especially on a sunny day. The grounds are well tended – lots of flower beds and generally well maintained. Lots of patches of grass for lying on, and plenty of benches. There is plenty of meandering pathways through, up to a small bandstand/veranda at the top, and there was a giant outdoor chess board, complete with pieces, at one point and a green for boules, I think. Great place to go lie, picnic, eat, drink, sunbathe. Spent many happy hours here in the grounds. Never been inside the castle though, which is quite an oversight.
