Shalford
village
Shalford is a picturesque village where the Godalming Navigation meets the main Wey Navigation just south of Guildford. The village is famous for its 18th-century watermill, now owned by the National Trust, which stands as a beautiful example of a traditional working mill. St Catherine's Lock nearby marks the junction of the two navigations. The village green and pond create a quintessentially English scene, while St Mary's Church dates back to Saxon times. Shalford offers excellent walking opportunities, with paths leading to both St Catherine's Hill and along the towpath towards Guildford.
