In 2019, Godalming Museum was awarded a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to carry out an exciting community archaeology project at Witley Camp. Once a bustling military camp, home to 20,000 British and Canadian soldiers and a veterinary hospital in the First World War, the area today has returned to woodland with little trace of any remains.

Created by Surrey County Archaeological Unit, Godalming Museum and the National Trust, this short walk will guide you round some of the key First World War areas of the camp using original photographs, sounds and recordings, providing an insight to the life of the people who experienced the camp over 100 years ago.

To access the walk, download the izi.TRAVEL app for free on your phone. Search 'Witley Camp' and download the guide.
