Downs Link

The Downs Link is a 37-mile (59 km) footpath and bridleway linking the North Downs Way Link at St. Martha's Hill in Surrey with the South Downs Way Link near Steyning in West Sussex and on via the Coastal Link to Shoreham-by-Sea. Most of the route follows two dismantled railway lines, both closed by the Beeching cuts in the 1960s. The Shoreham-On-Sea to Christ’s Hospital line and the Christ’s Hospital to Shalford Junction line. The link opened in 1984.
Cycle Route 223 follows the Downs link from Guildford to Shoreham.
The logo for the walk is the viaduct across the River Arun TQ0932 : Double Viaduct over the River Arun.

River Wey

The River Wey is a major tributary of the River Thames and joins it at Weybridge. It comprises two main tributaries, the North Wey and South Wey. The North Wey rises near Alton and flows through Farnham before joining the South Wey near Shalford, just south of Guildford. The South Wey rises on Black Down near Haslemere. LinkExternal link
