Guided walks on (and off) the River Wey
- Published:
- 19 October 2022
This year, we've got a packed programme of free guided walks, led by our knowledgeable volunteers, exploring both the towpath from Weybridge to Guildford and further afield such as Farnham, Eashing, Bramley and Alfold. Its always a great experience to get out into the fresh air, chat with different people, and enjoy the scenery. All walks are free, but please book online so we know how many people are coming - thank you.
2025 walks
We're going to be walking on the first Sunday and third Wednesday of every month. Walks will be updated throughout the year.
Chertsey Bridge circular
Sun 3 August, 10.30-2.30
How about a nice, flat six-miler? Why not join the River Wey volunteers and get out in the fresh air? Meet at Thames Lock in Weybridge, KT13 8LG, and follow the towpath to Coxes lock before crossing the road to head for Chertsey Meads and the Thames. We’ll stop by Chertsey Bridge for lunch so please bring a packed lunch. 6 mile walk.
Bowers Lock circular
Wed 20 August, 10.30-1.30
Another shorter walk in case its hot! We'll meet at Dapdune Wharf for a 5.5 mile circular walk to Bowers Lock along the towpath and return through the Riverside Park Nature Reserve and Stoke Park in Guildford.
The Literary walk
Sun 7 September, 10.30-3.30
Meet at Dapdune Wharf for this 10 miler. Two big climbs in this walk, first up to Pewley Down and later up to St Martha's, but both well worth it! It's a super walk with great views of Surrey countryside from Newlands Corner and St Martha's. Bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink.
Unstead wetland nature reserve circular
Wed 17 September, 10.30-1.30
For this 5.5 mile walk, we’ll be leaving from the back left hand corner of Artington park and ride, and joining the Wey Navigation towpath at St Catherine’s. From Broadford Bridge we’ll head towards Bramley and walk around the Unstead Wetland nature reserve and return via Tannachie and Trowers Bridge to Artington.
