We are a very active and friendly Ramblers group. Our programme explores the most attractive countryside in the surrounding area including the Surrey Hills.
Meet at Brentford Railway station at 10.30am. The train from Staines departs at 10.03, Ashford at 10.06 and arrives at Brentford 10.24am. Meet the leader at the exit. This is a flat walk along generally good paths, it includes some street walking, but the majority is along towpaths or in parks. The walk follows a figure of eight. It leaves Brentford, then along the River Brent and onto Osterley House, returning via the Grand Union Canal including the Hanwell Flight of six locks, then to Elthorne Waterside and Boston Manor. Boston Manor has free entry and is open until 5pm. You are welcome to leave the walk here to visit. The return trains to Staines are 15.23, 15.53, 16.23 etc. There will be a DIY coffee stop along the towpath and lunch will be at Osterley House, where there is a cafe and seating for a picnic. There may also be an option to stop at the cafe at Boston Manor Park towards the end of the walk.
Please advise the walk leader, Mark 07770 645853 by 7pm the evening before if you would like to join this walk. Walk numbers may be limited.
