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

From Teddington Lock we follow the south bank towards Richmond. We will have a refreshment break at Ham House. This is now a National Trust House, bring NT cards to gain free entry. After leaving Ham House we pass Petersham Meadows and on to Richmond. After Richmond Lock the towpath is closed because a section of the towpath has collapsed into the river, around Kew Gardens.
