The flagship garden of the RHS, Wisley captures the imagination with richly planted borders, luscious rose gardens and  the state-of-the-art new Glasshouse.

Gifted to the Society in 1903, Wisley has evolved over time into a world-class garden.

In the trials fields, the finest flowers and vegetables are identified from the countless new introductions. Elsewhere in the garden, cultivation techniques are tried and tested, and a series of model gardens answers the needs of a variety of conditions and circumstances.

Clandon Park – National Trust

The Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni built Clandon Park in the Early 1730′s

Surrounding the House, the Gardens include a parterre on the South side overlooked by a grotto, Maori House and Dutch Gardens on the East side.
The restaurant is located in the vaulted undercroft.  This Stately Home is situated in the tranquil heart of the Surrey countryside;

Guildford Cathederal

The Cathedral Church of the Holy Spirit is claimed to be the only Anglican cathedral to be built on a new site in the south of England since the Reformation. Work on the cathedral, designed by Sir Edward Maufe, began in 1936. It struggled into being through the depression of the 1930s, the Second World War and the austerity of the 1950s before finally being consecrated in 1961.

It stands in a commanding spot on Stag Hill – so named because the Kings of England used to hunt here – and its solid red brick outline is visible for miles around. Its bricks are made from clay taken from the hill on which it stands.

The tower is 160 feet high, and at the top of the tower stands a 15 foot gilded angel, which turns in the wind.

The Picture Postcard Village of Shere in Surrey

Probably the most photographed village in Surrey! Once nestling quietly in the Tillingbourne valley between the Downs and Surrey Hills, now Shere has to cater for numerous visitors especially on sunny weekends. The village has it all: a quaint atmosphere, picturesque buildings, superb scenery, even a stream with ducks and a ford no less. Of course two well-sited public houses probably help and there is even a small museum.
