    Tips

    January 8, 2024

    Papercourt Lock is a delightful lock situated in a tranquil and picturesque rural setting on the River Wey Navigation between the villages of Send and Ripley in Surrey.

    The Lock is accessible only by foot. With its water tumbling bay, pleasant lock-keeper cottage and surrounding fields and meadows, the Lock is a scenic place to visit and to photograph.

    Papercourt Lock was opened in 1653 and had a rise of 8 feet (2.44 m). It was originally located closer to the lock-keeper cottage but was rebuilt in its current position when the tumbling bay was added to help with water management. The present lock cottage dates from 1922.

    When visiting Papercourt Lock please be aware that the water meadows immediately downstream of Papercourt Lock may flood after excessive rain. When this happens this stretch of the Wey Navigation and its footpath will be inaccessible.
