About this event

Guildford has been graced with celebrated visitors, including royalty, over the centuries due to its important position. The town has also had a copious number of local worthies and more than a few interesting scoundrels as well. This walk has something for everyone.

A walk of two circuits: up High Street into North Street and back, and down High Street, into Quarry Street and back through the Castle grounds.

These days, it is difficult to believe that Guildford was the site of so many notorious events, when strolling around in the calm of an afternoon.'

- Christopher, one of the guides
