Surrey

Hampton Court Palace

Come and discover sun-dappled footpaths that criss-cross the most wooded county in the country. Leap into the 21st Century in our modern art galleries. Stand at the highest point in the south-east of England and marvel at the breathtaking views of the Surrey Hills and surrounding countryside. Experience first-hand the very latest in music at a festival or in the pubs and clubs that abound. Or visit our imposing stately homes with their beautifully maintained landscape gardens where, for centuries, celebrated artists, musicians and literary figures have found inspiration.  

Our comprehensive public transport network means that you can leave your car at home and discover the area with ease by simply hopping on a bus, train or even boat.  

Whether you stay in a cosy bed and breakfast or one of our first class spa hotels, you will find that there is always plenty to do in a county where old traditions and institutions such as royal residences, cream teas and cricket rub shoulders with modern architecture, contemporary theatre, international horse racing (including the world-renowned Derby held each year in June), excellent sporting facilities and state-of-the-art theme parks.
