There are a number of parks and recreation grounds along the way, together with refreshment stops and shops in Woking.
The canal side route provides a pleasant opportunity to view the canal and flora and fauna along the way. At the western end is Brookwood Cemetery, also known as the London Necropolis. It is the largest cemetery in the United Kingdom and one of the largest in Europe.
