Join us for a beautiful full-day walk exploring the best of Richmond riverside and Richmond Park, combining scenic river paths, woodland trails, and some of London’s most iconic viewpoints.
We’ll follow the Thames on a peaceful riverside walk towards Petersham Nurseries, continuing on to Petersham Gate and into Richmond Park. From there, we’ll make our way along Elm Tree Walk to Pembroke Lodge. We’ll then head to King Henry’s Mound for stunning panoramic views all the way to St Paul’s Cathedral.
The route continues on a longer stretch through the park, taking in the tranquil beauty of the Isabella Plantation. We’ll then walk on to the peaceful Pen Ponds before enjoying a final riverside stroll.
Terrain: Expect some inclines, mixture of woodland and pavedpaths, which may be slippery and muddy in wet weather, so hiking boots with good ankle support and weather appropriate clothing are recommended.
