Broadwater Park & The Godalming Navigation
Broadwater Park has plenty to keep families with a play area, ducks to feed, a lake to walk around and waffles to try. But just across the road is The Godalming Navigation, which makes a walk here even more interesting as you can watch the barges traverse the locks.
St. Martha’s Hill
With a commanding hillside position accessed only by footpaths, St Martha’s Church is a perfect place to pause and picnic. Our guide has a host of interesting extensions you can add to you visit.
Chilworth Gunpowder Mills
Hidden among the trees beside the River Tillingbourne are the remnants of our industrial heritage. As well as uncovering the ruins from the gunpowder mills, children can also find a paddling area in one of the old waterways.
Chantries
The Chantries or Chantry Wood, is a well known place to enjoy bluebells in Surrey and it isn’t hard to see why. The display here is breath-taking. Added to this, the elevated position of the wood means there is an option to take in viewpoints giving vistas across the Surrey Hills.
Newlands Corner and Silent Pool
Near Guildford, this popular beauty spot has plenty to offer the whole family from a variety of long and short trails, a Discovery Centre, natural play area, café, toilets, views, picnic benches, art installation and even a nearby gin distillery!
