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: 18:18 South Western Reading bound train from London Waterloo, arriving at Richmond at 18:36. Richmond is also reachable by the District Line -- but this may not be reliable due to strike action.
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.

Sitting in a traffic jam on a stationary bus from Kew as the start time ticked by, I thought it ws going to be another eveing walk missed. But the two on the bus found three kindly waiting at Richmond station, and another intercepted the group in Petersham, making #6.
One departed by bus from outside the park gate, the rest repaired to the Roebuck, very busy but we got a table with high stools. The food looked excellent. A #beautiful-sunny evening with an interesting part-rainbow and cloud effects later.
