Its direction is at first north,but soon changes to the north-east, and the river,still rather small, enters Surrey at near its source at Alton is a gathering of 3 34 THE HIGHLANDS OF SOUTH-WEST SURREY streams, for its largest tributary, the OakhangerStream, rises not very far from it, close to Selborne,and flows very much in the same only by the high ground to the south. THE SOURCES OF THE WEY, THE ROTHER, AND THEOAKHANGER STREAM. of Selborne is the birthplace of another river, theRother, which we shall meet again farther south. A second branch of the Wey has its origin inWoolmer Forest; receiving an equal branch whichcomes from just beyond Liphook. But the longeststream is that which passes through Bramshott. THE WEY AT FARNHAM 35 This has its source not very far from Haslemere,and flows from the Critchmere Trout Ponds, whichare fed from its springs. The streams from Lip-hook and the Forest flow in a northerly direction,that from Bramshott to the north-west. Havingat length met, their course is thence rather eastof north, and the Oakhanger stream comes inabout three miles above their junction. The course of the second branch of the Wey isnow taking a direction parallel with that of thefirst, which in both cases is to the north-east, andat a distance apart of about three mile
