Peasmarsh – Nature, History and Cycle Route

Peasmarsh brings together a man-made section of the Godalming Navigation, common land with wet woodland and a pond, and a signposted cycle link to the Downs Link near the village. If you are looking for a hotel in Peasmarsh, these local features can help you decide whether history, landscape or cycling suits the purpose of your trip. The navigation reflects the area's history, the commons its landscape and common land, and the cycle link a specific route connection.

Waterway and Local History

The man-made section of the Godalming Navigation between Peasmarsh railway embankment and Tiltham's Bridge was built between 1760 and 1764. Its construction period places it in the late 18th century; the two named points give the section a specific local setting.

Commons and Landscape

Peasmarsh Common is registered common land and consists mainly of wet woodland; it also includes a pond. The land designation and the habitat description convey different aspects: one classifies the area, while the other describes its predominant character. Tilthams Common is common land in Peasmarsh. Peasmarsh Common therefore combines a specific description of the landscape with its designation as common land; Tilthams Common adds another named place to the local reference to common land.

Cycle Link to the Downs Link

A signposted, two-mile link runs from Guildford town centre to the Downs Link near Peasmarsh and follows National Cycle Routes 22 and 223. For your cycling plans, the starting point, destination area and length of this link are all specified. Route numbers may change when the network is revised, so check the current signage before setting out. This specific route connection can thus be distinguished from the landscape features of the commons.

St Michael's Church

St Michael's Church in Peasmarsh is a small chapel with a hall. This church adds a specific local building to the historical and landscape features. Facilities and community use can change. If the hall or its use is important to your travel plans, check the latest information in advance.
