Guided walk: Godalming Navigation versus the railway
Hear how the Godalming Navigation fared after the coming of the railway.
- Booking essential
The walk takes in the navigation at St Catherine's and on towards Stonebridge. And while enroute you'll see the railway embankment that never saw a train.
At Shalford railway station and learn about the wartime collision which set alight wagons full of aviation fuel. After a rest at the Snooty Fox cafe, if you would like refreshments, on to a footpath on the trackbed of the former Guildford to Horsham railway line, and back to the starting point. The walk is being led by local historian David Rose and retired railwayman and historian Geoff Burch. You will hear lots of stories about the railway lines here, plus David and Geoff will show vintage photos of the railway and waterway in these parts. This walk is roughly 5 miles
