 oy the exceptional local flora and fauna while taking a trip through Wokin
 g’s history. The usual trip for Kitty is east from the Town Wharf. Immed
 iately on the right is the award-winning Lightbox Art Gallery and Museum\,
  then we pass under a pedestrian/cycle turnover bridge. As we head out of 
 town Horsell Common (itself partly an SSSI) is to our left. On the right\,
  we pass the site of the old Spantons Timber Wharf\, then past the old gas
  works winding hole on the left\; the Woking gas works were on the right. 
 At Monument Bridge we can see the base of an old crane\, before heading pa
 st new apartments at Britannia Wharf on the left.\n\nShortly after passing
  Monument Bridge\, on the left\, we can see the walls of the Woking Peace
  Garden and then the start of the 1930's Woodham Hall Estate. On the righ
 t\, the mid-1940’s Sheerwater Estate comes into view\, built on the site
  of Surrey’s largest freshwater lake – now drained. We then turn aroun
 d and retrace our journey\, along this quasi-urban stretch of the canal.\n
 \nNatural England has designated most of the canal as a site of special sc
 ientific interest (SSSI). It serves as a local recreational amenity but is
  also a notable wildlife habitat.\n\nThe alkaline water from the chalk spr
 ings at the western end of the canal mix with the acidic water as the cana
 l passes through the Surrey heathlands\, giving rise to one of the largest
  varieties of aquatic plants and invertebrates in the United Kingdom.\n\nA
 s many as 25 of Britain’s 39 species of dragonflies and damselflies inha
 bit the canal.\n\nLook out for kingfishers\, herons\, swans\, ducks\, gees
 e\, moorhens (often with young) and various local floras.\nClick here to v
