We are the Richmond Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
(Bring a headscarf if you want to visit the Gurdwaras in Southhall)
We walk along the canal towpath (tarmac mainly). There are interesting buildings and woodland and parkland. We visit a beautiful Sikh gurdwara in Southall. For this we wear a headscarf and remove our shoes to visit the inner sanctum. You might like to bring some prepacked shop food (fruit, veg, - most Sikhs are vegetarian) to donate to the kitchen at the gurdwara, and a donation for having your lunch there. Alternatively, you can picnic at the side of the canal. Toilets are available at the gurdwara and at The Old Crown pub at the end of the walk. Food and drinks can also be bought in Southall. This walk is likely to take about four hours.
