Wey

River in Hampshire and Surrey, England; length 55 km/34 mi. It rises in two streams in the Hampshire and Surrey uplands and flows northeast past Godalming and Guildford into the River Thames at Weybridge.

Wey is also the name of a short river in Dorset, southwest England (length about 20 km/12 mi), on which the coastal resort of Weymouth lies.

In 1635 a 10-km/6-mi stretch of the river was made into a canal, and in 1760 this was extended by a further 2.5 km/4 mi to run from Godalming to Weybridge; the canal section was presented to the National Trust in 1963.
