This guide contains 20 Surrey walks, taking in the very best of the county's waterways and beautiful scenery. Get ready to see Surrey at its very best. There are walks by the mighty River Thames at Runnymede, Shepperton Lock and Hampton Court; and tree-lined strolls by the rivers Wey, Mole, Eden and Arun. In addition, there are picturesque routes along the towpaths of the Basingstoke Canal, Godalming Navigation and the River Wey Navigation. There are surprises here too. Parts of the county that are less well known are explored and the quiet rambler may well see deer and other wildlife. Some of the walks are along flower-lined streams and brooks leading to the ruins of corn, fulling and gunpowder watermills that were largely made redundant by the advent of steam power. Walking by water always adds interest. Whether it's a gently meandering stream, a powerfully coursing river or a tranquil canal, there's something about the proximity of water that gives any walk a lift. This selection of waterside walks in Surrey should tick every box. ALL WALKS INCLUDE: Details on how to get there & where to park; Easy-to-follow sketch map with numbered route & clear instructions; Recommendations for nearby pubs & cafes, & other nearby attractions.
