Guildford
English county seat
Guildford is a historic market town in Surrey, England, about 30 miles southwest of London.
It sits on the River Wey and serves as the county town of Surrey.
The name likely derives from a ford where marigolds grew.
Known for its steep cobbled High Street, medieval castle ruins, and the modern Guildford Cathedral, it functions as a commuter town and commercial center: She takes the train from Guildford into Waterloo every morning.
