Woking Palace

Woking Palace is a former manor house of the Royal Manor of Woking that has Scheduled Ancient Monument classification. King Henry VIII visited Woking Manor often as a boy and during his reign - as did Queen Elizabeth I after him. He also honeymooned (!) there with Catherine Parr in 1543. All that remains of the palace are a barrel vault and some adjoining Tudor brick walls but it's kinda cool to be able to walk through a room that Henry VIII has walked through.

Papercourt Lock and the Wey Navigation

Papercourt Lock is a lock on the River Wey Navigation, now owned and maintained by the National Trust. The Wey was one of the first British rivers to be made navigable, and opened to barge traffic in 1653. It is a 15-mile waterway linking Guildford to the Thames at Weybridge.
