Indeed, much of the valley is reclaimed and restored. This has been a long process and involves the funding and commitment of 14 local, district and parish councils. Walking The Blackwater Valley Footpath is now complete and runs for 38km from Farnham in the south to Swallowfield in the north. It links the North Downs Way with the Thames path. A walks booklet is available detailing the path in 14 sections.
Many local people donate their time to conservation tasks in the valley.
