Ah yes the New Inn.
Spent many a lazy afternoon in the garden of same watching the narrow boats come and go.
However I do believe it to be the River Wey,not actually a canal.

[nonsuchmike]

At Cartbridge, where the road turns sharply, it is the canal as the river Wey runs further north. The two join up again just after Papercourt Lock, and then divide again just before Newark New Bridge (just before the old Priory).

I walk this stretch at least twice a year with various groups, but only ever seen BC's Royal Barge nestling virtually under the M25 road bridge right by the Canal's junction with the west flowing Basingstoke Canal, whose westerly extremes I have also walked, including over the hill following the Greywell tunnel.
