I am in love with guildford! home to guildford castle, built by william the conqueror in 1173, the town has an abundance of history. its rustic quaint charm is reminiscent of fairy tales. the book, alice in wonderland, may not have been written about guildford, but many of lewis caroll’s later books, including “alice through the looking glass”, were inspired by his time there. caroll purchased a family home for his sisters back in 1868 after his father’s passing. he often visited from oxford and was later buried there after his death in 1898. you will find many tributes to caroll throughout the beautiful town of guildford, a place I am eager to return to.
