Surrey

Ensconce yourself at one of our special places to stay and hike the Surrey Hills AONB to work up an appetite for the fine restaurants and gastropubs that dot the leafy refuge beloved by London escapees. Pretty Farnham has much going for it, a vast deer park, a Rural Life Centre documenting the town’s history, and the ruins of Waverley Abbey, the first Cisterian monastery founded in Britain. Visit Guildford for an Olympic-sized Lido, annual Fringe Festival and an immaculate castle with views, plus you can take boat trips or canoe the river Wey from here. RHS Garden Wisley is a must-visit for any keen horticulturist.
