Nestled at the confluence of the Rivers Wey and Ock, Godalming's friendly market town aura is peppered with distinguished history dating back to the Paleolithic era. Named after a Saxon landowner, it carries a rich tapestry of stories within its scenic boundaries, covering an array of settlements including Farncombe, Binscombe, and Holloway Hill.

Since the Middle Ages, Godalming made a name through the production of woolen cloth. The later centuries saw the town becoming a hub for the textile industry, and gaining reputation for leather production. Today, this slice of Surrey still bears remnants of its vibrant past and diverse geology, gleaming through its 16th and 17th-century buildings and abundance of Bronze Age artefacts.

Noteworthy former residents add an extra layer of interest to the town's character. Jack Phillips, the heroic wireless operator onboard the tragic RMS Titanic, and the intrepid mountaineer George Mallory have both called Godalming home. The town also prides itself for being the first to introduce combined public and private electricity supply, a testament to its forward-thinking ethos.

When to visit Godalming

The best time to soak up the delights of Godalming come with the arrival of spring and the sun-drenched days of summer. Late July often blesses the town with its warmest climes, with daytime temperatures often reaching 23.1°C.

Typically, the curtains of rainfall shy away during September, March and April, granting visitors ample opportunities to explore the local trails and landscapes.
