Hunt Nature Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hunt Nature Park was established in 2018 and the associated footpaths and section of the Downs Link were upgraded to improve accessibility. A viewing platform has also been added, accessible from the Downs Link overlooking this section of Cranleigh Waters (a.k.a. Bramley Wey).

Bramley and Wonersh Disused Railway Station

Highlight • Historical Site

A nicely restored green open space with platforms, signs, level crossing gates and shelters. Well worth pausing a journey on the Downs Link to explore!

Wey & Arun Canal at Downs Link

Highlight • Structure

An interesting section of the Downs Link that runs alongside the old Wey & Arun canal. This part has water in it but much of it doesn’t - anyone in need of a canal restoration project?

St Catherine's stretch of the River Wey

Highlight • Cycleway

The St. Catherine's Length of the River Wey passes through Guildford towards Broadford. This section runs alongside the National Cycle Network Route 22 through a wide open public green space, which is popular for water sports and many city residents and office workers, particularly in the summer.

For many that cycle the Downs Link, but chose to follow the National Cycle Network Route 22 into Guildford centre (and railway station), rather than head onto the North Downs Way, this might indicate the end of the journey.
