Overview

From Barnes station we will walk to Roehampton to meet the university archivist for a tour, that will include interiors of some of the buildings and a commentary on the history. After a break for lunch (picnic with potential drink and toilets at a pub) we'll look at some of the other remaining Grand Houses of Roehampton (Roehampton House, Parkstead House, Mount Clare - outside only). Finally we will walk through Roehampton Gate to Richmond Park and finish the walk at North Sheen station.

This will be a different walk from the walk we did in April. There is an option to leave the walk at lunchtime after the tour.

There are only 20 places for the tour. Please book with the walk leader on 07899 798298 and we will indicate when the walk is fully booked.
