The grounds at Guildford Castle were opened as public gardens in 1888 to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee of the previous year. The gardens are extremely popular, displaying an amazing array of colourful bedding, centred on the 11th Century Castle Keep. Other attractions include a life-size statue of Alice Through the Looking Glass, a historic bowling green, music concerts in the band stand, the town's war memorial and open-air theatre in the summer months.
Most parts of the Castle Grounds are wheelchair accessible but there are areas with steps and steep slopes particularly around the Castle Keep.
The Castle Grounds opening times are 8am to dusk throughout the year.

The name of this old chalk quarry is a reminder that the prosperity of medieval Guildford was largely based on the wool trade. "Guildford blue" cloth, after dyeing with woad, was fixed on wooden racks to allow it to dry without shrinking. There are blocked-up chalk mines in this area, as there is a hard band of chalk which was mined for building (perhaps, even, for building the castle).

Guildford is a large town in Surrey in the South East of England. It has still retained much of its historical charm. A short walk up the cobbled high street shows many buildings which are hundreds of years old. The medieval castle was used by the King of England in the 1400s and because of this Guildford is the only royal town in Surrey.
