River Wey (nr Shalford)
(A classic FOUR TRUNK location)

To the east of Shalford church, c. 1km south of Guildford. Park on the A248 by the bridge over the river and walk north. The spot I went in was c. 200m south of the locks.
Grid Ref
TQ 995/476

Easy access from the eastern bank, grass for sunbathing and even a tree for shade.

This stretch of the Wey has been canalised so is quite popular with boats. As the river is quite narrow you need to keep your eyes open.
