   • Guildford Castle. Originally a Norman motte-and-bailey fortress, Guildford Castle reinforced several times over the next 300 years, but was primarily a royal residence, most notably for Henry III in the 13th century, and his son Edward I. The castle had been on the wane since the 17th century when the roof was removed, but was restored in the early 2000s.
   • Spike Heritage Centre. This complex on the east side of Guildford is a rare opportunity to see the interior of an Edwardian Workhouse. These institutions provided “employment” and housing for the destitute, in exchange for rather grim working conditions.
   • Loseley Park. Outside the village of Compton to the southwest of Guildford is a fine Elizabethan manor house completed in the 1560s and altered very little since then.
   • Watts Gallery. This Arts and Crafts gallery was purpose built for the Symbolist artist and sculptor George Frederic Watts, and opened just before he passed away in 1904.
