Surrey boasts a rich, historical past, unrivalled by many areas in the UK. Once upon a time, Kings were crowned at Kingston-upon-Thames and the Magna Carta was signed by King John at Runnymede. Due to this, there is a wealth of local museums, stately homes, parks and gardens among the green hills and valleys.
