Overview

The walk takes in a varied landscape of hills, woodland gardens set among ancient trees, abound in wildlife.  We will leave the park for a pub lunch (if you are having a picnic you should bring something to sit on). After lunch there will be a short walk along the Thames before returning to Richmond Park.

The paths are very good and almost mud free.

There are toilets at most of the gates around the park with a charge of 20p only payable with a contactless card. If you want a pub lunch please message or email the leader by 12.00 on Thursday 19th
