      Lewis Carroll spent the final years of his life in Guildford so there's lots of Alice In Wonderland references around the city including this gorgeous statue on the riverbank.

    4. Edit

      The statue has two girls reading Alice Through The Looking Glass with a rabbit running down into a rabbit hole.

      There was an embroidered White Walker in the castle which terrified Tom, even though he doesn't watch Game Of Thrones so had no idea what it was.

    7. Edit

      My favourite part of the castle grounds was the Alice Garden.

    8. Edit

      There was a beautiful statue of Alice stepping through the Looking Glass in the middle.
