Newark Priory - (Near , South East)

5 /5 Bella_therapy Corinne R: Beautiful place. Next to the marches and the canal. You can take a lovely walk across the countryside. Past Newark lock. There is parking by Newark bridge. You cant actually access the Priory though, as its on private land but you get a good view as you walk past. Its close to the village of Riley. Dont know about toilets though.

5 /5 Babji Vundavilli: In Surrey, the remains of Newark Priory can be found between Ripley and Pyrford. One of the monasteries that was disbanded under King Henry VIII was Newark Priory. Newark Priory is been classified as an Ancient Monument of Grade 1. Although it is situated on private property, it is visible from Pyrford and Ripley while strolling along the Wey River. A lovely location. adjacent to the Wey River. You can stroll through the countryside in style. beyond the Newark lock. Parking is available near the Newark Bridge. The community of Riley is not far away. A pleasant spot for runners and walks.

5 /5 Irina Springate: Newark Priory is another awesome ruins worth visiting not only for historical reasons, but because it is haunted place ( if , of course you are interested in such thing). The phantoms of monks have been reported strolling through the ruins and along the banks of the River Wey. Ruined Augustinian building, founded in 12th Century by Ruald de Calva and wife, Beatrice de Saudes for Augustian canons. Newark Priory was one of the monasteries that were dissolved during Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII. Today it is listed as a Grade I Ancient Monument. Ruins located on private land, so not open for public, but can be viewed whilst walking along the River Wey between Pyrford and Ripley. You may be able to get photos from the tow path, as there are breaks in trees. Although , you have to have a very good zoom on your camera to be able to do good shots. If you want to get there, from A3 take the B2215 to Ripley and then left onto the B367 Newark Lane. The priory will be on the right after free car park on the left ( just before crossing the bridge). Also just before crossing bridge, on the left there is the Wey Navigation, owned by the National Trust, which you also can visit for walks.

5 /5 James: Great place to visit for sunset, unfortunately its on private property so you cant really get near it and the view from the road isnt great. Excellent place for drone shots however

5 /5 Graham Ball: Picturesque ruins, situated on private land, so can only be viewed from the nearby road and canal towpath, beautiful with a veil of early morning mist and at sunrise and sunset.
