Bellfields Green

Overview

Bellfields Green is a lovely, large open space tucked away in Guildford, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. With its sprawling grass, a large pond, and a variety of trees, it's a brilliant spot for families who want to unwind. While it doesn't have a playground, the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it a fantastic place to enjoy a picnic or just kick back and watch the world go by. The views from the top are absolutely stunning, stretching across the horizon and offering glimpses of Guildford Cathedral and the sports centre. Suitable for All ages welcome.

Though it's a popular spot for dog walkers and families, it can get a bit untidy with litter and dog mess, which can be a downside for some.
