Overview

From Kingston Station we make our way to Richmond Park via roads and then head to Isabella Plantation to see the Azaleas which are at their peak flowering in late April and early May.  There will be some free time for you to wander around this beautiful place or you can stay with the leader for a short walk to see the best of what is on show including, hopefully, some of the handkerchief trees.  We then head to the village of Ham and the Thames path to follow it south to the Boaters Inn at Canbury Gardens for an evening drink which is where the walk finishes.
