Autumn 2008

I'm going to blog about my 2008 autumn in Surrey, England.

Surrey is a county in the South East of England. I spent almost three weeks in Guildford, county town of Surrey and a few days in Peaslake, a village in Surrey.

Guildford situated 45km southwest of London and the travel time will be 35 minutes by train, from London Waterloo station to Guildford station or London Road (Guildford) station. I explored the central area of Guildford by foot. The Guildhall at High Street, Guidford with its 300 + years old overhanging clock!




After work, we took taxi from office to High Street for dinner because buses in Guildford were not as adequate as in London.




Again, took the taxi back to lovely Mandolay Hotel. I am lookng forward to return to this finest hotel in Guildford.

At Millmead along the River Wey in Guildford, I sat with Alice and her sister on the grass looking at the White Rabbit running towards his hole. Guildford has several Alice art works because the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" , Lewis Carroll died on January 14, 1898 in Guildford.

Near Guildford, the Newlands Corner... i like the name! There are large areas of chalk grassland and woodlands.

and large horse population...




Peaslake is a small English village in the centre of the Surrey Hills area. Although it is close to Guildford, the only to access to this countryside is by car using roads which are at some point single track and surrounded by acres of forest acres of forest.



Quiet, cosy, unique, place place for leisure...

I was staying at The Hurtwood Inn for a few nights. The hotel has been privately owned and family run since 1992. What i like the most about this cottage hotel is the open fire place and comfy sofas...


Let's go for a walk to explore the outstanding beauty of Peaslake.
