A stunning chapel near the Watts Gallery. It is surrounded by the cemetery where Aldous Huxley (the author of 'Brave New World' and 'The Doors of Perception') is buried. The mortuary chapel was designed and built by Mary Watts, wife of the great Victorian artist G.F. Watts. The Grade I listed Chapel is a unique fusion of art nouveau, Celtic, Romanesque, and Egyptian influence with Mary's own original style. The Chapel is managed by Watts Gallery, located just up the road, and is open to the public daily.

Winkworth Arboretum is a National Trust-owned arboretum in the spread-out civil parish of Busbridge between Godalming and Hascombe, south-west Surrey, England. The 95 acres arboretum was founded by Dr Wilfrid Fox, starting in 1938 and continuing through World War II. He cleared the land and planted it with carefully chosen trees and shrubs to maximise its autumnal appearance. Once it was established, he presented it to the National Trust in 1952. Winkworth Arboretum exhibits over 1000 species of trees as well as large collections of azalea, rhododendron, and holly on slopes leading down to landscaped garden lakes.
