Anything worth seeing in Camberley (UK)?

[kwlw]

Hi,

As I can see there are lot's of ppl from UK. I'm going to the Camberley for a week, and maybe there are some places "must visit" in that area? Not very interested in pubs or theatres, more in astonishing views (mountains, rivers, etc.), castles, racing tracks, technical (warfare) musems, aircrafts, some huge abandomed or not machinery etc. .

I won't have a car, so mobility is quite limited to buses and trains.

That's pretty close to S2DriverUK (David), I'm sure he knows the must see sights

Brooklands Museum is worth a visit on the site of one of the first racetracks in the world and birthplace of British Motorsport, you can go and stand on the banking

You are also quite near the North Downs, these are chalk hills which run across the south east and end at Dover (the White Cliffs) Not mountains but lovely views and good walkks. Head over to Guildford and then follow the A24 towards Dorking, when you get to the top of a long hill turn right into the car park.

And then they go and build tescos over half of it...

I think the office blocks were there first dude ....don't blame Tescos, blame the people who gave permission in the first place! I would go just to see the Napier Railton running, on one of the days when it is running.

(Places to visit in Camberley ...well the only time I ever actually went there was with my brother in an Audi cab to Whites garage, taking the works Mk2 Golf GTi home again!)

PS - I think history records it as the first ever purpose built race circuit - and yes I am equally angry that it's been built on. Don't think that would happen in downtown Indianapolis...

Hmmm i'm going to have to say that it's not the worlds most interesting place visit wise, some nice parks not too far away....Egham has Virginia Water which is nice for a walk round, Windsor Castle, Brooklands as mentioned above and remember you are only about 25minutes from London by train so might well be worth a hop into the capital to see some sights, plenty of transport options and at this time of the year many attractions will be fairly quiet so easy to walk round.

Thanks everyone for information. Will try to check places mentioned.

Now trying to figure out how to use bathroom sinks with separate valves, cross the streets (traffic is opposite direction) and other weird things you have

Also it's nice, that google maps photos is around 8 years old for that area, so was a bit surprise to find shopping mall instead of car parking .

It takes a few years to learn to mix the water to the exact temperature you like.



Enjoy your time here.

Haha, surprised you haven't had issues with the slang language we speak.

I never forget the 1st time a dutch friend of mine visited the U.K and he was taken by surprised by the difference in regional speech in London to Birmingham.
