The Wey & Arun Canal - from the Wey to Pallingham
From Newbridge southwards
The canal south of Newbridge is really part of the Arun Navigation. It was built earlier than the rest of the Wey and Arun Junction Canal, in 1787, and lasted in use longer than the Wey and Arun. In a similar situation to the northern section at Bramley, there is some evidence that depsite the Wey and Arun Junction being closed in 1871, traffic continuned to pass beyond Newbridge northwards. Generally the section from Newbridge to Pallingham is now considered part of the Wey and Arun system
