Brooklands was a 2.75 miles (4.43 km) motor racing circuit and airfield built near Weybridge in Surrey, England. It opened in 1907, and was the world's first purpose-built motorsport venue.[1] The circuit hosted its last race in 1939, and was also one of Britain's first airfields. Nowadays it plays host to Brooklands Museum, a major aviation and motoring museum, as well as various vintage car rallies.

Clandon Park is an 18th century Palladian mansion in West Clandon just outside Guildford, Surrey, in the United Kingdom. It has been a National Trust property since 1956.
The house was built, or perhaps thoroughly rebuilt, around 1730–33 (the latter date is on rainwater leads), designed by the Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni, replacing an Elizabethan property which was bought in 1641 by Sir Richard Onslow. The new building was commissioned by his great-grandson Thomas, 2nd Baron Onslow. Many members of the Onslow family followed political careers—three of them, including Arthur Onslow, were Speakers of the House of Commons.
Maori Meeting House in Clandon ParkClandon Park's interiors, which were finished into the 1740s, feature a two-storey Marble Hall, containing marble chimney pieces by English sculptor Michael Rysbrack. The building now houses a fine collection of 18th century furniture, porcelain, textiles and carpets, including the Ivo Forde Meissen collection of Italian comedy figures and Mortlake tapestries. The building also houses the Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment Museum.
Annual Maori festival at ClandonThe gardens were designed by Lancelot Brown in 1781 and feature a parterre, grotto, sunken Dutch garden and, a later addition—a Maori meeting house named Hinemihi. This was originally situated near Rotorua in New Zealand and provided shelter to local people during the eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886. The building was covered in ash and surrounded by lava, but its occupants survived. It remained half buried until 1892 when Lord Onslow, then Governor General of New Zealand, had it removed and shipped to England.

Chertsey is one of the oldest towns in England. It grew around Chertsey Abbey, founded in 666 AD by Eorcenwald, Bishop of London.
In the 9th century it was sacked by the Danes and refounded from Abingdon Abbey by King Edgar of England in 964.
Chertsey appears in the Domesday Book as Certesi. It was held partly by Chertsey Abbey and partly by Richard Sturmid from the abbey. Its domesday assets were: 5 hides, 1 mill and 1 forge at the hall, 20 ploughs, 80 hectares of meadow, woodland worth 50 hogs. It rendered £22.[2]
The Abbey grew to become one of the largest Benedictine abbeys in England, supported by large fiefs in the northwest corner of Sussex until it was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1536. The King took stone from the Abbey to construct his palace at Oatlands, the villagers also used stone for raising the streets. By the late 17th century, only some outer walls of the Abbey remained.
Today the history of the abbey is reflected in local place names and the fishponds that still fill with water after heavy rain.

Chessington World of Adventures is a theme park and zoo in south-west London, England. It lies 12 miles from Central London, close to the A3 and M25 (junction 9 or 10). Historically opening as a zoo, a theme park was developed alongside it, opening in 1987.
The park has a selection of attractions, ranging from the Dragon's Fury roller coaster, to family-oriented rides such as the Bubbleworks. It also has animals, many of which can be seen from the Safari Skyway, an elevated monorail around the zoo. Since 1998 Chessington has been in the same ownership as nearby Thorpe Park, and since 2007, Legoland Windsor.[1] Recent changes in direction have stunted the growth of the park; however, infrastructure is currently being fully refurbished to prepare for relaunch in 2010
