 0's Woodham Hall Estate. On the right\, the mid-1940’s Sheerwater Estate
  comes into view\, built on the site of Surrey’s largest freshwater lake
  – now drained. We then turn around and retrace our journey\, along this

 of the canal as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). It serves as
  a local recreational amenity but is also a notable wildlife habitat.\n\nT
 he alkaline water from the chalk springs at the western end of the canal m
 ix with the acidic water as the canal passes through the Surrey heathlands
 \, giving rise to one of the largest varieties of aquatic plants and inver
 tebrates in the United Kingdom.\n\nAs many as 25 of Britain’s 39 species
  of dragonflies and damselflies inhabit the canal.\n\nLook out for kingfis
 hers\, herons\, swans\, ducks\, geese\, moorhens (often with young) and va
 rious local floras.\nClick here to view our Boat Trip FAQs.
