The River Wey is one of Surrey’s best kept secrets. Many are surprised by the rural tranquility of the river and by its scenic views, open spaces and wildlife.

The prettiest part of the River Wey is arguably that between Godalming and Guildford, and in particular the 0.65-mile river section between Trowers Footbridge, Farncombe, and the Tilthams Corner Road. Here the meandering Wey offers a different rural view around each corner. It is a delight to walk on a well-maintained footpath and to observe the tranquil and interesting river and its scenic surroundings. In summer, the canopies from nearby trees add to the river’s beauty.

If you are fortunate, you may see a brightly coloured narrowboat either moored or passing by. If you are interested in history, you may wish to study the lovely brick-built Towers bridge that dates from about 1770, and the well-maintained World War II pillbox situated 25m from the river just south of Tilthams Corner Road.
