Overview

A linear walk - not wading but wondering along the Wandle to its estuary with The Thames in Wandsworth; followed by the Thames Path to Putney Bridge. Highlights along the trail includes Morden Hall and Merton Abbey Mills.

Our lunch stop is scheduled for Merton Abbey Mills with an earlier break at Morden Hall where there are toilets. Paths along the trail are a mix of paved and unpaved surfaces with plenty of greenery, trees and birdlife.

Please bring a packed lunch.

There are several exit points should you wish to make your trek shorter instead of following the outlined trail.

Please no dogs.
