The ancient North Downs town of Godalming is surrounded by some of the most beautiful wooded countryside in Surrey. Within a short drive are the Devil‚s Punch Bowl, the lovely Frensham ponds and common, and the outstanding natural beauty area of the Surrey Hills. From the air, Godalming looks like a toy village: steep wooded hills surround pretty medieval timber framed buildings overlooked by the gothic spires of Charterhouse School. The town centre is so idyllic that Church Street was filmed for a snowy christmas scene of the Hollywood blockbuster ŒThe Holiday‚. If visiting, take time to relax in ancient inns used back when Godalming was a halfway stop for royal stage coaches along the old Portsmouth road, and be sure to look above the shop fronts for architecture from different eras. The parish church, first built when Godalming was a Saxon settlement, has had many additions over the centuries including Norman and Tudor and is worth a visit, as is the town‚s museum, housed in a grade II listed building. This mishmash of architecture gives real character and a timeless feel rarely found in today‚s busy world, yet Godalming is next to the A3 and only 45 minutes from London by train.
