look out for the famous clock, The Guildford Guildhall Historic Clock, which projects over the High Street from the Guildhall, and which has regularly appeared on television.

Guildford Castle is a hidden part of the city which is easy to miss if you run along the river or to the picturesque high street. It dates from the early Norman times and is always surrounded by beautiful flower displays in its grounds.

This highlight has notable historical significance. It shows the place where the old Wey and Arun Canal started from on the River Wey. For several decades in the 19th century the Wey and Arun Canal was a vital trade link between the south coast and the River Thames and London. The Canal was 23-miles long and linked the rivers Wey and Arun between Shalford in Surrey and Pallingham in Sussex. Commercial trade on the Wey and Arun Canal reached a peak of 23,000 tons in 1839. However, with the establishment of the railways canal trade traffic started to decrease and had virtually stopped by 1868. Although no longer looking at its best the start of the old Canal is still evident 150 years after most canal traffic ceased. Restoration of the Wey and Arun Canal is underway and it is planned that βLondonβs lost route to the seaβ will eventually be reopened.

The beautiful River Wey passes under a former railway bridge just south of Shalford. This is where the Guildford to Horsham single-track railway line ran between 1865 and 1965. The original railway bridge was removed soon after the old railway line closed. However, the bridge abutments remained and were used to support a new bridge for long-distance walkers and cyclists that opened in July 2006. The new bridge - called the Unstead Woods Downslink Bridge - forms part of the Downs Link, a 37-mile (59 km) long footpath and cycle route between Guildford and Shoreham. It is delightful to walk under/over this bridge, to admire the surrounding scenery, and to imagine the scene a century ago when steam trains used to cross the former bridge.
