This is the fourth of a series of short circular walks along the River Wey and the Wey Navigation canal in Surrey. The guidance below will help you navigate but don’t use it as a fully accurate turn-by-turn guide. Always take a map and/or a GPX route and prepare well for the weather and terrain.

This walk starts at Byfleet village centre where there’s free parking at the western end of High Road. Walk in a westerly direction along the A245 Parvis Road, cross over the canal on the road bridge. Descend on the northern side of Parvis Road to cross back over to the eastern side of the canal on the Old Parvis Road bridge.

Continue south along the Wey Navigation for just over 2 km to reach the Anchor pub at Pyrford Lock. Points of interest along the way are Murray’s Footbridge and Dodd’s Footbridge, both with information signs detailing their history.

At The Anchor pub leave the canal and take a footpath heading in an easterly direction across Wisley Golf Course toward Wisley village centre. Take a left onto an unnamed lane by the Old Village Shops then a right onto a footpath. Follow this path in an easterly direction for 1.2 km, through woods and over the M25 to a path junction. Take a left and follow the path to join the eastern bank of the River Wey. Cross over the Wey on a wooden footbridge then take a right onto the driveway that connects Byfleet Manor with Mill Lane. Cross over Mill Lane and continue along the western side of the River Wey until the A245 Parvis Road. Take a left onto Parvis Road, then a left onto High Road and follow it all the way back to the start.
