Towpath Along the River Wey

Highlight • River

Delightful narrow path through a small forest, always directly along the shore.
It is accordingly muddy, we recommend hiking boots/wellies!

River Wey Navigation Towpath

Highlight • Trail

My favourite stretch of tow path. Really beautiful. A little rooty in places, but fast rolling and wide enough to pass pedestrians without too much faff. I rode 700x38c tyres and was fine.
