Our time in Germany ended and we flew back to London , ready to do some grand sitting while Justin & Taylor were at work . What with days off and Isla needing some home time , we had her for a few days, to take some strain off . We went down to Woking Park one day and , down to the Indoor pools at the rec centre , the next day .
Another day Justin had to take Taylor to an appointment , so Isla decided she would go as well . We decided to get on the train and go to Guildford for a look around . It's only a 10 min train ride , and we were there before we knew it . Walking from the station to High St we came across this church - choose your poison - theirs a pub to the left and another across the lane !!
High St is a quaint street , and has the majority of it blocked off and used as a pedestrian mall .
Further up the road is more great architecture - we are enjoying this .
Further up is the Guild Hall , used by the mayor now , it used to be a courthouse in the past . There's a young lady out the front , under a parasol , singing for anyone who wanted to listen . The bracket clock is amazing - it has 1683 displayed on the base - making it 341 years old !!
We got a spinach & ricotta roll and a sausage roll for lunch - both were served at room temperature , a bit strange !!
Over to the castle for a look , but first the bowling green was being used by the locals for a womens match . The bowling green is located behind a D Day memorial and has one large square green , and another smaller one - that runs at 90 degrees to the main green .
There are numerous very well maintained garden beds here
Here's the bowling green .
These 3 gents were looking on intently .
Looking across the green , the castle catches your eyes , and yes you can go in for a look .
The path from the bowling green goes down to the lower gardens and under the footpath and down through a winding path to the gardens .
This is one small section of the lower gardens around the castle .
Same garden from the other end .
