Overview

Join us for a delightful circular walk in Hampton Court Park (Home Park), once the hunting ground of Henry VIII. We start at Kingston Station and enter the park just after crossing Kingston Bridge. With the river on our left, we walk along Barge Walk for a couple of kilometres and then turn right. A brief stop at Hampton Court Golf Club for tea/coffee and toilets, then on to Hampton Court Palace walking parallel to the Longwater, where we may see deer. A brief stop again at the Palace before walking back through the admirable long avenues of trees that help give such a symmetrical beauty to the park. We then pass Hampton Wick Pond, exit at Kingston Gate and cross the bridge to reach Kingston Station.
