Address: Hamm Moor Ln, Addlestone KT15 2SD

The Location

Coxes Lock was built between 1651 and 1653 as part of an important link to transport heavy goods between London and Guildford. It's located in Addlestone, Surrey. There are three mill buildings closely grouped together that have been converted into apartments, but the outside has remained unchanged.

What's There?

At the lock, visitors can see the old mill buildings and the water that used to power the mill as it runs downstream.

Boats pass through the lock fairly regularly, and there are often people fishing around the mill pond and along the canal. Click here for more information about fishing in the Wey Navigation.

There are also lots of ducks, swans, geese, and other fowl in the area, making this location perfect for bird watchers.

Parking

There are parking bays along the street next to the Wey Navigation that are free of charge.

Parking spaces are almost always available, except during peak times in the summer.

Accessibility

The distance from the roadside parking to the lock is about 100 metres. There are multiple benches along the path, approximately every 20 metres.

The path to the lock is accessed by a short but fairly steep slope (pictured at the bottom of the page) that are wheelchair accessible but may be challenging for some visitors.
