We did this walk as an epilogue to our Walking the River Wey and Wey Navigation series. In those 9 walks we followed the Wey from its confluence with the Thames at Weybridge to Eashing, the final place you can access via footpath. Further upstream to the south-east you’ll find Tilford, with a medieval bridge that spans the river near where it splits and leads to 2 different sources.
This walk is part of Surrey County Council’s “Surrey Countryside” walks and is well documented on their web-site. I won’t repeat anything here as it’s a great guide to the walk.
