We are the Richmond Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Please join us for a moderate linear walk starting at Greenford Station booking hall. We go through the Beaver Enclosure, then along and across the Grand Union canal to the wooded Horsenden Hill where we will see the Gruffalo Trail and the summit with great views over West London. We also visit Brabsden Green deserted village, removed in the 1970s. Picnic lunch stop near the Ballot pub and a drink. Afternoon return through the Greenford Beaver enclosure where we will see their handywork, but unlikely them as they are mostly nocturnal creatures. Then down the river Brent finishing at Hanwell Elizabeth line station seeing the majestic Hanwell viaduct on the way. Various opt-outs available.
This is a joint walk with HFW Ramblers.
