National Trust - River Wey & Godalming Navigations

National Trust - River Wey & Godalming Navigations is essentially a scenic waterways walk: towpaths, canal stretches, locks and riverside views, with the route running on towards Godalming. It sounds very much like a place for fresh air, a bit of history and a long wander rather than a ticketed attraction with bells on. The reviews are full of the stuff parents actually care about: it’s quiet, there’s wildlife, and there’s enough going on to keep children interested if they like boats, ducks and the occasional narrowboat passing through a lock. One reviewer also mentions a small National Trust museum at Thames Lock, which gives the visit a bit more purpose than “we walked and then walked back again”. Free parking for up to five hours is a decent bonus, too. The main caution is the path itself: it’s described as narrow and a bit rough in places, so it’s not a carefree pushchair parade. There’s also no mention of cafés, toilets or baby facilities in the reviews, so assume this is more picnic-and-prep territory than a catered day out. Lovely, yes — but bring sensible shoes and manage expectations.
