ThingsToDoLight and modern architecture on Stag Hill / GUILDFORD
Guildford Cathedral
Make time for the spacious interior and the story of a twentieth-century cathedral above the town. Its atmosphere and building materials offer a contrast to Guildford’s older streets. Plan the hill journey deliberately and check worship before choosing a sightseeing slot.
The cathedral stands on Stag Hill, away from the High Street cluster. Check the diary for services, temporary closures and any exhibition before travelling uphill.
