Cranleigh Waters


The Cranleigh Waters or Bramley Wey is a tributary of the River Wey in Surrey.

Course

The Cranleigh Waters or Bramley Wey rises at a source close to the sources of two tributaries, the Thornhurst Brook and Coneyhurst Gill in the rural north of Cranleigh, each flowing initially southwestwards to Vachery Pond, before turning to run northwards as the border of Wonersh and Bramley to meet the Wey at Shalford.
From the Vachery Pond to the Wey, Cranleigh Waters is closely paralleled by the disused Wey and Arun Canal, which crosses the river at Gosden Aqueduct.

Other tributaries

Cobblers Brook

The Cobblers Brook also rises in the Greensand Ridge as three headwaters in the north of Ewhurst and drains that parish entirely southwards, before flowing west via the Baynards Park estate in Cranleigh into the Vachery Pond.

Unnamed streams in Walliswood

A central natural drainage divide cuts off the rural west and south of the Walliswood hamlet of Abinger, Surrey from the rest of it. This part has three unnamed streams which drain a small fraction of the long north-south oriented parish and flow into the Cobblers Brook in the far south of Ewhurst.

Named left tributaries

These eight left tributaries are considerably shorter than the three principal right tributaries and drain a portion of Dunsfold and almost all of Bramley. They are separated from the River Wey by a western high and wide outcrop of the Greensand Ridge.
