Walking and canoe trails at River Wey and Godalming Navigations and Dapdune Wharf

There are many different trails on the River Wey - mostly along different areas of the towpath but some also across the countryside and reaching heights that allow far-reaching views of the North Downs. There is one for canoeists too.
