River Wey Dragon’s Teeth

13 December 202013 December 2020 By Joe Mander

The Dragon’s Teeth along the River Wey in Guildford are just one of many examples of surviving Second World War tank defences in the town. Dozens of these small pyramids stretch through the woodland from the river up the edge of the woods.

Known as ‘Dragon’s Teeth’ these concrete defences were designed to slow down any enemy vehicles entering British soil, and to divert them to a specific area where they could be attacked.

Whilst these aren’t rare, it is unusual to find so many surviving in one area. You can view our short live-stream video here.
