Map
The Wey was one of the first British rivers to be made navigable and opened to barge traffic in 1653. This 15.5 mile waterway linked Guildford to Weybridge on the Thames and then on to London.The Godalming Navigation, opened in 1764, enabled barges to work a further four miles upriver. Dapdune Wharf in Guildford is the home of ’Reliance’, a restored Wey barge, as well as an interactive exhibition telling the story of the waterway, including models and displays.
