Richmond to Kingston (Surrey)
30 minutes direct from Windsor and Eton Riverside.
Recommended: A wildly joyful route; so lovely; superb in summer. A wildly enjoyable, mostly flat and largely traffic-free route following the riverside at Richmond and Kingston and crossing leafy Ham via quiet residential streets and green common land and including Petersham meadows. Generally smooth surfaces with a couple of gates and a few narrow paths; the Richmond riverside path can flood at high tide (a road detour exists). You may pass the herd of cows grazing at Petersham meadows. Toilets just inside Petersham Gate at Richmond Park; a short detour reaches Ham House (National Trust).
Ham House: A grand 17th-century house and gardens beside the Thames at Ham.
Time: 2h–4h
Lunch: Refreshments at Petersham and along the river at both Richmond and Kingston.
1 end-of-walk reward: Canbury Secret Cafe
Warnings: The riverside footpath at Richmond can flood at high tide — detour via the A307 Petersham Road, with several escape points up to the road. The diversion behind St Peter's church is narrow, poorly lit and can be muddy.
