The Mill Pond at Coxes Lock is the largest on the Wey Navigation, built to control the water depth above 2.6 metres (8 feet 6 inches). The cascaded drop, which was originally one drop with a turning waterwheel, is recorded in some 19th-century sources.

Excellent pub with a well known reputation, stopped here for a quiet drink. A really good rest point if your doing long distance along the canals and riverways into London from the south.
