About Guildford Castle

Guildford Castle’s gardens are famous for their floral displays, centred on the 11th-century castle keep, in the borough council’s words. There is a life-size statue of Alice Through the Looking Glass, a bowling green and summer concerts in the bandstand. See the council’s page for keep opening times.
