Tillingbourne Brewery

The Tillingbourne Brewery sits just outside Guildford, turning out proper Surrey ales in a region not exactly famous for craft beer. You can visit the brewery itself - they do tours and tastings where you'll see how they actually make the stuff, from grain to glass. It's the kind of place where the brewers actually know what they're talking about rather than just looking the part.

For beer enthusiasts, this is genuinely worth an afternoon. You get to taste their range on-site, which includes everything from pale ales to darker, more experimental brews. Families with older kids might enjoy it, though it's not a theme park situation - you're standing around watching fermentation tanks, so expect a fair bit of standing about. The whole experience takes a couple of hours if you do it properly.

What makes it work as part of a wider park holiday is the geography. Guildford's only a short drive away, and you've got proper camping options scattered nearby - Chantry Wood Campsite and Horsley Camping are both within easy reach, as is Surrey Hills Yurts if you fancy something a bit different. Pop in here on a Friday or Saturday afternoon, grab some bottles to take back to your pitch, and you've got a proper evening sorted.

Worth checking their website before you go - opening hours aren't always predictable, and you might need to book a tour in advance rather than just turning up.
