Stoke
area
Stoke is an area of Guildford immediately north of the town centre, sitting alongside the River Wey between Millmead Lock and Stoke Lock. Stoke Park offers open green space with views across to Guildford Cathedral, while Stoke Lock itself is a popular spot for watching boats navigate the waterway. The area combines residential neighbourhoods with important river heritage, and the towpath through Stoke provides a pleasant traffic-free route between central Guildford and the countryside beyond.
