Guildford is a historic Surrey town set on the River Wey, with a steep cobbled High Street, a Tudor Guildhall clock and the ruins of a Norman castle keep built for royal use. Its modern Guildford Cathedral crowns Stag Hill, next to the University of Surrey. Long a market and county town, Guildford is now a prosperous commercial centre in the Surrey Hills with fast trains to London Waterloo, making it one of the most desirable and well-connected places to rent in the county.
