River Wey guided walks

Guided walk round Frensham Ponds

Wed 13 November, 10.30am-3pm

Discover the southern branch of the river Wey and the surrounding heathland and ponds. Visit the site of the first known withdrawal of labour for better working conditions in 1246. This 9 mile circular walk is gently undulating going round both the Little Pond and Great Pond. It should be a lovely day out in the Surrey countryside.

The Wey to Waverley Abbey

Sunday 25 November, 10.30 - 2.30pm

From the bizarre meeting place in the middle of the Shepherd and Flock roundabout in Farnham, this walk keeps offering surprises. The various war time relics seem incompatible with the peace and beauty of Waverley Abbey and the wonderful tearoom at Waverley Abbey House. The River Wey gurgles along by your side for most of the walk. Aggressive helicopters dominate the sky for the last section while we walk through a reclaimed tip.

We will stop at the tearoom at Waverley Abbey House (where Florence Nightingale used to spend her summers) for refreshments

Eashing Bridges guided walk

Sun 5 January, 10.30am - 1pm

Explore the river Wey beyond its navigable limit. The Wey volunteers will take you from Godalming to Eashing, where we'll stop for a refreshment break in the Stag. A nice five mile walk whatever the weather. Now that's asking for trouble...

Chantries circular guided walk

Wed 15 January, 10.30am - 3pm

Join us where the Wey Navigation meets the Godalming Navigation at Millmead Lock. We'll walk up through the Chantries and then on to Shalford, returning along the towpath to Guildford. Chantry Wood is 200 acres of ancient semi-natural woodland and meadows and is stunning at any time of the year.

Bramley circular guided walk

Sunday 2 February, 10.30am - 3pm

This 7 miler goes from Godalming Wharf to Bramley and back - just over 4 hours in total with a refreshment stop to enjoy your packed lunch in the disused Bramley station. We'll return along the Fox Way to the River Wey. There are views of gorgeous countryside coupled with interesting facts - and no charge involved...

Saxon Surrey

Wed 19 February, 10.30am - 2pm

From the cricket ground car park at Albury Heath, we walk through the woods to Albury Park where we'll have a look at the beautiful Saxon church in the grounds. Then we'll head on past the newer church (not open to the public) and to Shere along the
Tillingbourne stream. We may stop for refreshments in Little London before returning through the woods to Albury Heath. This is a 6 mile walk
