Brookwood Military Cemetery

Reviewed By 518TomR - Carryduff, United Kingdom

This is one of those strange locations that is a required visit as I believe everyone on occasion needs to be reminded of the enormous sacrifice others made for our today. Beautifully appointed and architecturally astute, a walk around these gardens and graves will sadden and illuminate simultaneously. Saddest of all perhaps are the graves of so many, so young, who died after hostilities ended in both world wars and to see names of, (again), so many young people who traveled half a world to lose their lives and end up here. Honour them with your presence just once.

Brookwood Cemetery

Reviewed By nergelag - London, United Kingdom

We live nearby but never tire of walks around the cemetery. If you haven't visited then make a point of going. There's history, quirky stuff and a lovely glade at the back of the site. Woking are making it more tourist friendly, let's hope that is done sensitively.

Pyrford Lock

Reviewed By Mb7400 - London, United Kingdom

After working from home, in the morning, I required food from a supermarket in nearby Cobham (to concoct a superb Prawn, Broad Bean, Brussel Sprout and Paneer Phall Curry), so I thought I would take my daily hour exercise here. Last time I was here, was unquestionably 1992, as myself and school mates used to drink, occasionally, at the Anchor Pub - albeit, it now felt like 1892. As you come off the A3 to get to the Lock, you bypass the famous Wisley Gardens, followed by the very quaint Wisley Village, per se, before arrival. The only negative? There is a Sewage Treatment works which does, sadly, put a slight downer on things. The Lock area itself, is picturesque - a beautiful Weeping Willow tree hangs, majestically, on one side. Ducks, Grebes and Mallards can be found swimming around, in large numbers, near the Lock, and there are also a large number of Canal boats, in one singular phalanx on the opposite side to the main path. The area is peaceful and tranquil - a golf course lies on one side; on the other some woods and fields. Overall a very pleasant area to visit.
