Baldwin's Knob lock has been restored and was the first lock to have been refurbished on the disused Wey & Arun Canal. It opened in its current form in 1994 and originally in 1816.

The Drungewick Aqueduct carries the Wey and Arun Canal over the River Lox which feels like quite a unique experience as you walk alongside one waterway to look down over another. The canal itself fell into disrepair but the Wey and Arun Canal Trust is working on restoring it to a navigable waterway again.

Oak, ash and hazel create a fantastic habitat for birds and animals here, and in summer it's buzzing with life. In spring, the forest floor is full of colour with bluebells, wood anemone and daffodils. Willow warblers and nuthatches call the copse their home, so keep an eye out and you might spot them.

In 1905, the Wey and Arun Canal was split at Loxwood after a road bridge was dismantled. The road then ran through where the canal should have been as a replacement bridge wasn’t on the cards. To restore the canal, it would need to run beneath the road. The canal was dropped and a new lock put in – Loxwood Lock – to allow for boats and pedestrians to pass underneath the road. The canal was reopened at this section in 2009, and a boat passed through for the first time in over 100 years.
