Welcome to Wey Navigation

The Wey Navigation is a canal in Surrey, England, that runs for 20 miles from the River Thames at Weybridge to Godalming. It was built in the 17th century to transport goods such as timber, coal, and grain from the Surrey Hills to London. The canal was a vital part of the industrial revolution in the area, and it played a significant role in the growth of the local economy.

The Wey Navigation is now a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists. The canal is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are many picturesque villages and towns along the way. The canal is also home to a variety of wildlife, including kingfishers, herons, and otters. There are several locks along the canal, which add to the charm of the area and provide a glimpse into the history of the canal.

The Wey Navigation is a fascinating part of Surrey's history, and it continues to be an important part of the local community. The canal is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, and it provides a unique insight into the industrial revolution in the area. Whether you're interested in history, nature, or simply enjoying a peaceful walk or boat ride, the Wey Navigation is a must-visit destination in Surrey.
