It rises near Walliswood, flowing initially southwestwards to Vachery Pond, before turning to run northwards via Bramley to meet the Wey at Shalford.[2]
From the Vachery Pond to the Wey, Cranleigh Waters is closely followed by the disused Wey and Arun Canal, which crossed the river at Gosden Aqueduct.
In spite of its name, the river does not run through the village of Cranleigh.
