Guildford: Castle Guildford: Castle No Data

Description


Guildford Castle was built shortly after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 either by William the Conqueror or by one of his barons. Today just the Keep of the castle on top of it's mound, and small fragments of the outer walls and gate still exist. The moat and mound have been turned into a pleasant park and garden. From the base of the Keep there are excellent views over the surrounding countryside, and these are probably better from the top of the keep - though at the time of visiting the keep was still closed due to Covid restrictions.
