Millmead Lock

Part of a historic feat in the form of establishment of lock gates & canals, that changed the economy of the then Britain, Millmead lock is hidden behind bylanes but is restored with a small park / picnic area next to it. Worth a visit if you have time in hand and interest in such history while visiting Guildford

It is amazing that this thing is still in operation after centuries of use!

I even had the chance to help a lady open the gates for her boat to clear the lock on a Saturday morning. A great experience indeed!

Ir you are in Guildford, do not miss the chance of watching this.

Lovely area with seating by the river, popular with many people decent area

Relaxed area along with the River Wey with seating, green areas and of course the lock. Very nice.

A lovely place to chill out and escape the town centre. Only disappointment was the amount of litter left by numpties. There's a litter bin there. Use it !

Relaxed little Riverside with benches to sit and feed ducks.....also access to river for kayaks etc with a decent pub across the road, The Brittania

Charming area. Fascinating to watch the water levels rise and fall with the opening and closing of the gates with boats passing through. Members of the public were helping with the manual winding of the gates... an interactive, interesting experience!

This is a beautiful area and an ideal place for a walk.

It is a lovely place for photography and also just for observing the river.

It is something that is wroth seeing in Guildford.
