Guided walks on (and off) the River Wey

2025 walks

We're going to be walking on the first Sunday and third Wednesday of every month. Here are the walks for the first two months:

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

Lovelace Bridges guided walk

Sunday 2 March 10.30am-2pm 

This time we visit the intriguing woods at Sheepleas where the Earl of Lovelace developed his bridge building project.  Nine of the original bridges remain and many of them have their name plates and dates intact.  Bring a packed lunch which we will have in the woods half way round the walk.  This is a 5.5 mile walk.

Three Surrey properties guided walk

Wednesday 19 March 10.30-3.30

Meet at Godalming Wharf for a short walk along the towpath to Catteshall, where we head over towards Winkworth Arboretum and Hydon’s Ball and heath, and come back through Busbridge, Westbrook mills and back to Godalming.  This is a 10 mile walk through three National Trust properties

Devil's punchbowl to Haslemere circular

Sunday 6 April, 10.30-3.30

Walk the route of the old A3 before it was put in a tunnel and visit the market town of Haslemere with a break for refreshments before heading back to Gibbet Hill and the car park. This 9 mile walk, starting at the Devil's punchbowl NT car park will get your blood pumping with one long, steep climb which never seems to end, but once it does you can enjoy a lovely leafy walk down in to Haslemere and then back via Gibbet Hill and perhaps view the change of seasons.

Rout of the Cornish

Wednesday 16 April, 10.30-3pm

Starting at Millmead Lock, this walk goes up the Mount and follows the Hog’s Back track to the A31, then descends the hill to the south, turning right at the bottom for Watts Gallery and refreshments/comfort break.  From Watts Gallery the route returns via the back of the Loseley estate  to Millmead lock along the Wey Navigation.  A lovely walk in the Surrey countryside
