Overview

Leisurely linear walk along the Thames, past Taggs Island with its houseboats and views over to Garrick House & Temple.

Change from Sunbury destination:

As the river level is still high & it is unlikely that the ferry from Walton to Sunbury will be running, the walk will now continue into Walton with a lunch stop there; picnic, Barn Café or pub. We pass one of the best examples of a Medieval Manor House & some 'blue-plaqued' buildings. Conditions can be muddy.

Option to return to Hampton Court Station on 461 bus or to continue along the river to Walton Bridge &  Shepperton Station for the return journey. A valid ticket is required from Shepperton to Hampton (zone 6). There is only one train per hour on Saturday due to ASLEF strikes. Estimated finish time 3pm"
