This is a leisurely walk taking in Penton Hook Lock, a long stretch of the Thames Path, Laleham Park and highlights of Laleham Village. There is plenty of historical interest and some quirky cottages on the way. The walk is almost entirely flat and about half the paths are surfaced, the other half across grass and dirt paths which may be muddy after rain. No stiles. Bring a drink. Optional refreshments are available in Notcutts Garden Centre at the end of the walk.
Optional visit afterwards to Penton Hook Lock to look at the annual Veterans Cruise of the Dunkirk Little Ships. Listen to evocative 1940s music and see the beautifully preserved little ships that took part in the evacuation of soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940. (https://www.adls.org.uk/the-verterans-cruise).
