  • Aspects of Weybridge Walk
    Aspects of Weybridge Walk The walk was an initiative by Weybridge Society to celebrate the Millennium in 2000 and is designed to show the variety of the town. The main walk (Red route) takes approximately 2 hours (4.5 miles), but may be lengthened (or shortened) as desired. It is essentially ‘a walk’, and many parts are only accessible on foot. Part of the route goes through residential areas. Please respect the privacy of residents. Take the opportunity to enjoy the varied flora and fauna on the route, wild flowers and native varieties of trees, many birds both woodland and river dwelling. It is a walk which has pleasures in every season - some parts could be muddy or slippery when wet, so appropriate footwear is advised, and care should be taken. Start Point (Red route) The Churchfields car park in central Weybridge, behind the Library and next to St. James’ parish church and the Churchfield Recreation Ground. St. James’ Church, built in 1848, was designed by J.L.Pearson, the architect of Truro Cathedral. 1 Leave car park by vehicle access, and enter Churchfield Recreation Ground through iron gates (Note A), cross Recreation Ground to top right corner near children’s play area, and exit to footpath. Turn right and then straight ahead at cross paths and walk past the allotments on your right. (These allotments were given for the use of the poor of Weybridge to grow food, and are owned by the Weybridge Charity). 2 Continue into Melrose Road (passing the entrance to Weybridge Park private estate to the left).
