Farncombe Boat House

About

The River Wey is one of Surrey’s best kept secrets. On a narrowboat you’ll appreciate the stunning Surrey landscape from a different angle. Apart from the tranquil meandering river, the views, open spaces and wildlife, you’ll enjoy riverside villages such as Send, Pyrford and Ripley or the larger towns of Godalming, Guildford and Weybridge with their shops, theatres, cinemas and restaurants.

You will be surprised at the rural tranquillity of this river, especially when considering that it is at the heart of commuter-land and within sight, at one point of the M25. Historically, this is a fascinating waterway, being one of the first canalised rivers in the country, dating back to 1653. Today the 20 miles of navigable river and it’s 16 locks, are owned and maintained by The National Trust, and their Exhibition Centre at Dapdune Wharf in Guildford is well worth a visit.
