Overview

We will walk up from Raynes Park station to Wimbedon Common and to  Cannizaro park to enjoy the fine spring colours.  From there we will go cross the Common to the Windmill and then through Womble territory to Beverly Brook and  in to RIchmond Park.  The route takes us onto the Isabella Plantation with its famous Rhododendrons and Azaleas  which should be near their peak. 

We will enjoy a picnic lunch here. We continue past Pembroke Lodge, down to the Thames and into Richmond to the station where the walk finishes.
