Wait for dry weather, as this section is a swamp in the winter

Excellent spot to stop and take in the scenery on this bridge, also an opportunity to dip your toes if you so choose!

A wharf on the Wey Navigation in 1653.

Lovely spot for a picnic

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.

Located near to the village of Sutton Green in Surrey, Triggs Lock marks the half-way point of the 20-mile long River Wey Navigation from Godalming in Surrey to the River Thames at Weybridge. The Lock and its pretty lock-keeper cottage attract artists and photographers due to their delightful rural setting that has changed little over the last century. Triggs Lock was commissioned in 1653 and has a substantial rise/fall of 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in). The nearby lock-keeper cottage was built in 1769 and was renovated by the National Trust in 1987. The ‘Triggs’ name comes from the name of a local family who contributed to the construction of the River Wey Navigation in the 1650s. Notable figures in the history of the River Wey Navigation have been the lock-keeper at Triggs Lock. William Stevens, whose descendant Harry Stevens was to own and to later donate the Wey Navigation to the National Trust, became the lock-keeper here in 1812. William Grove – a stalwart of lock-keeping - was the lock-keeper at Triggs Lock between 1856 and 1911. Remarkably, Grove and his wife raised nine children in the cottage! Triggs Lock is a highlight of walking the River Wey Navigation due to its scenic location and its fascinating history!

Just off the main road (and right by a public car park if you’re driving), with a lovely grassy bank and easy access to water, this is a perfect place for a dip!

Bridge is falling apart, probably best to give it a miss!
