Woking Palace Children's Tour: A Time Travel Adventure
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 (SCAU) 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.· The walk begins at Manor Way Car Park in Old Woking.
