Woking Palace was the site of a Tudor residence with origins dating back to the 13th century. Little survives at the site itself, but this circular walk and audio guide shares what we know about this important site. During this 2.5 mile circular loop you will journey with a time-traveller, meeting different historical figures linked to the palace. This is an alternative to the adult guide for children to listen to while their parent/guardian listens to the adult guide.

Surrey County Archaeological Unit would like to thank The Friends of Woking Palace and Woking Borough Council for their support on the Woking Palace and its Park project.

Things to know about this walk:

  • We advise that a parent/guardian downloads this guide before starting the walk as there is limited phone signal at the site. Download the izi.TRAVEL app on your phone, and search for 'Woking Palace'. Click 'Download' and the tour will save to your phone.
  • The walk begins at Manor Way Car Park in Old Woking. Car parking is free and the address of the car park is Manor Way, Old Woking, Woking GU22 9JX
  • We advise you use headphones for this walk to improve the sound quality, but ensure you take these out when crossing the road - always ensure that a parent/guardian helps you cross the busy road.
  • This walk is just over 2 miles long and lasts around 1hour 15mins.
  • The walk is a mixture of road, track and footpath with uneven ground and other trip hazards. It includes a stile. The second half of the walk will be very muddy and wet if it has rained recently, please take care.

Don't forget to turn your phone volume up when you start the walk!

Your parent/guardian is responsible for your safety throughout this walk.

This audio guide was created by students from Woking College during a work experience placement.
