Evening Walk: Richmond Park Short Walk T=Short.7
Distance: Approximately
4.25 miles or 7.6 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 2 out of 10
Travel: 18:20
South Western Reading bound train from London Waterloo, arriving at Richmond
at 18:36. Richmond is also reachable on the District Line. Return trains and
tube run frequently.
This walk takes a varied route first along the
Thames river, then past the impressive Ham House before entering Richmond Park.
Once in the park, the route climbs the escarpment for some fine views across
the Thames valley.
Please ensure you keep a safe distance from any
deer spotted in Richmond Park and do NOT feed them – they have apparently
become quite interested in people (and any food that may be offered)….
Various options exist for post walk drinks and/or
meal….
More information about the route can be found here.
Enjoy the walk!

n=9 assembled at Richmond station on a w=warm-sunny-evening. The walk along the river in the evening was particularly idyllic. The group slightly diverged on its way from the river to the park, as one group followed the written text and the other the GPX....interestingly, the KML differs from the GPX and follows the written instructions....At any rate, we regrouped on top of the escarpment in the park and carried on together, pausing to enjoy the view from King Henry's Mound -- both of St. Paul's (noting however that the tree trimmers have missed a branch or two which partially obscure the view) and out west across the Thames Valley. En route back to Richmond village, we also paused to enjoy the "Turner view" before exploring a new pleasant route down through some terraced gardens to the riverside. We secured an outdoor table at the White Cross where most enjoyed a drink and some food....A nice evening out!
