The Godalming Trust has launched a new publication with the above title as a companion to their Two Historical Walks in Godalming. This new 24-page booklet, illustrated by 36 line drawings, maps out a circular walk along the River Wey and the Godalming Navigation, starting at the Parish Church and taking about three hours - with the option of a shorter walk taking half that time. Many of the species likely to be seen are described in detail together with historical facts and superstitions associated with them.
The guide has been published with financial support from Waverley Borough Council. The walk was selected by Sarah Henderson, Area Countryside Ranger for the Council. Sarah provided the text in co-operation with a colleague, Denise Roffey. The drawings are by botanical illustrator Gwyneth Fookes and the editor was Clare Windsor, former Publications Officer for the Surrey Wildlife Trust. The booklet is on sale in the Museum shop at £1.95.
