We are the Richmond Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Gwyneth H.
A linear walk via Barnes Common and Barnes Green with its theatre and attractive pond teeming with wildlife. We pass author Henry Fielding’s (of ‘Tom Jones’ fame) house and walk down to the river Thames past Gustav Holst’s home and Ninette de Valois’ house before crossing the river. Continuing downriver on the north side of the Thames path before turning away across Duke’s Meadows to the beautiful C18th Chiswick House and gardens where we will have our lunch stop. Café or picnic lunch. Return via Chiswick station, a 10 minute walk from the gardens. The E3 bus runs along this route to Turnham Green station on the District Line.
