Dist:0.1km<br/>The confluence of the southern and northern arms of the River Wey occurs in Tilford, a little way upstream of this point. The mediaeval bridge is a Grade I listed structure. As illustrated by Neil elsewhere [[477429]] and [[1210073]], this is a favourite picnic and paddling spot, but on a dank dark wet November morning with the river flowing strongly over the weir, pleasure-makers are conspicuous by their absence...

Dist:0.1km<br/>A famous mediaeval bridge across the River Wey, 2 miles south of Waverley Abbey ruins. Tilford is also famous for its triangular green (cricket field) and its large, spreading old oak tree on the north edge of the green.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This view of the Tilford bridge shows the River Wey and the weir. The River Wey is formed at Tilford by the conjunction of two tributaries, River Wey (North branch), which passes Waverley Abbey, and River Wey (South branch) from Frensham Little Pond.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The two branches of the River Wey meet at Tilford, and this bridge spans the river a little below the confluence. The bridge is thought to have been built in the 13th century by monks from the Cistercian abbey at Waverley (SU8645). The material is Bargate stone, very characteristic of this part of Surrey. Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) isn't generally a welcome sight along our streams and rivers, but here, in the left foreground, it has got really out of hand - to the point where it might be best to say it's so wrong, it's right. The shot was taken at about 7.35 on an August evening.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Tilford Bridge carries the road known as Tilford Street over the River Wey here. This is an uncontrolled single carriageway for traffic.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The medieval bridge spans the River Wey a short distance below the confluence of the river's two branches, and is believed to have been built by monks from Waverley Abbey. This shot, looking upstream, shows the southernmost arch - half-hidden by an exuberant growth of Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera).
