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.  Walks will be updated throughout the year.

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.

Surrey Hills walk

Sunday 5 October 10.30-3.30

This ten mile walk really does offer a lot: we start at Chinthurst Hill car park and head for Great Tangley Manor and on to Blackheath. Next its Chilworth and the gunpowder mills before going up past Chilworth Manor and on to St Martha's and a lunch break. Then we go down through the Chantries and past Shalford Mill before joining the River Wey towpath. The last part of the walk follows the Wey South path and then a big climb up to the top of Chinthurst Hill and then we descend to the car park where we started.
