위슬리 최고의 러닝 경로

지나가는 사람들에게 이곳에 펼쳐진 방앗간 연못은 평범해 보일 수 있지만, 다른 관점도 있습니다. 예를 들어, 그의 풍부한 상상력이 담긴 어린이 책으로 유명해진 오트프리트 프로이슬러(1923~2013)의 이야기 세계에서는 완전히 다릅니다. 이곳의 방앗간 연못은 매우 흥미로운 물의 요정 가족의 서식지이기도 합니다. 오늘날까지 인기 있는 그의 책 "꼬마 물의 요정"은 가족의 후손이 겪는 모험에 대한 놀라운 이야기를 들려줍니다. 오디오북 CD에서 물의 요정 엄마는 아들을 겨울잠에 빠뜨리며 노래합니다. "꼬마 물의 요정아, 눈을 감고 잠시 쉬렴, 나는 여기 앉아서 네가 자는 모습을 지켜볼게. 네 꿈이 널 인도하고 놀라운 감동을 주길, 그리고 네가 다시 깨어나면 새로운 한 해가 시작될 거야."

Nice pint

The tow path in the Basingstoke canal, from Woking to the junction with the Wey, it is paved and smooth. The tow path in the Wey Navigation canal is more bumpy, roots etc. Apt for a gravel bike, perhaps not so for a road bike.

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.

Great ride its a good route if you want to cycle into London , Guildford to weybridge then the Thames through Richmond park.

The pretty Walsham Lock and Weir have a scenic setting 1 km north of the village of Ripley in Surrey. The lock has several notable features and is surrounded by tranquil and picturesque flood meadows and by Pyrford Golf Club. These attributes make it well worth a visit. Walsham is the last surviving turf-sided lock on the Wey Navigation. This means that it operates as a flood lock and has its lock gates always open unless the River Wey is in flood. If there is a flood the lock gates are closed to force water over the nearby Walsham Weir and down along the River Wey. Two further unusual features of Walsham Lock are first that it’s situated on a slight bend such that its top and bottom lock gates do not quite align with each other. Second, its adjacent pleasant lock-keeper cottage is the last remaining fully-manned lock cottage on the Wey Navigation. The original lock-keeper cottage was built in 1653 and the current one dates from 1896. The Walsham Weir and its roaring water marks where the River Wey Navigation separates from the River Wey. The two waterways do not rejoin again downstream until Weybridge. The Walsham Weir is the main Weir on the Wey Navigation downstream of Guildford. When crossing the former horse bridge over the River Wey by the Weir you should look out for the entrance to a naturalised fish and eel pass channel route. This 170 m long channel has a reduced water flow compared to the Wier so that fish and eels can make their way upstream on the River Wey.

Situated along the Wey navigation, this old mill has been converted to modern housing but still a beautiful sight
