Amazing that these Benedictine monks at St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth receive scores of prayer requests from all over the world via their website and that this tiny, unknown and beautiful part of the Surrey countryside is such a prayerful place.

Landscape, art and remembrance are beautifully blended together in this Grade I-listed building. Visitors are drawn to the bright red brick of this Arts & Crafts masterpiece. Up-close, the extraordinary design and decoration both fascinate and overwhelm all who venture up the winding yew tree paths.

In attractive parkland, this is a fascinating church with features from Saxon and Norman times as well as later memorials and brasses. The Drummond Chapel differs from the rest of the church as it contains elaborate designs by Augustus Pugin, reminiscent of those in the Houses of Parliament.

The interior is white-washed so fairly bright. We spoke with one of the volunteers about cathedrals we had all visited for a while. Has recently had its tower refurbished. Behind the church is an interesting graveyard with footpaths down three sides with The Royal Oak backing on to the graveyard. Very nice to spend some time away from the hubbub of the High Street then go for a beer!

St James's Church in Shere is one of the main places to visit in Shere. It played a cameo role in a few Hollywood films including Bridget Jones, the Edge of Reason. It is also where the Anchoress of Shere was incarcerated. A fascinating historial place of interest.

What a beautiful cathedral. We went here because our son is obsessed with the cathedral as he drives passed it on his school bus. The parking there is free for two hours which is plenty of time to go around the grounds and the cathedral itself. There is a lovely cafe there to for a quick bite to snack and drink and the gift shop has lots of choice from souvenirs to lovely treat gifts. Affordable ones to. The cathedral is stunning both inside and out and is well maintained and looked after. Well worth a visit.
