The area and getting around
Nestled deep in the Surrey Hills woodlands on the banks of the Silent Pool, the local Silent Pool pub is arguably Albury's most visited venue. Taking inspiration from Scottish whisky distilleries, this famous distillery produces handcrafted spirits using local ingredients with a distinct flavour. During your holiday you can sample complex flavours made from botanicals such as berries, liquorice, cassia bark, iris and more to give you a unique sensation. You can also try gins made with more delicate products, such as rose petals, which give a delicious floral essence.
The UK's only Maori meeting houseSouth of Albury, in West Clandon, you'll see Clandon Park House, a 220-hectare agricultural estate that is home to one of only four Maori meeting houses outside New Zealand, and the only one of its kind in the UK. The Maori meeting house is a building of international significance and displays traditional Hinemihi carvings depicting her body parts. Hinemihi was a woman of great authority who lived in New Zealand and is the namesake of a subgroup of the Tūhourangi Maori tribe. Today, the spirit resides in the carvings at the Maori meeting house in Clandon Park.
