Guildford Cathedral

Guildford Cathedral is one of the town’s iconic landmarks and a unique twentieth century Grade II* listed building. Reaching skywards, the Cathedral stands on a commanding spot on Stag Hill, just moments from main transport routes and fifteen minutes’ walk from the town centre. The interior is in complete contrast to its exterior, and well worth a visit for your fix of awe and wonder.
