Sunday stroll along the Thames Path from Putney Bridge that ends with a trail around Richmond Park. Walk is mainly flat and can be urban in sections such as the first part of the walk along the Thames.

Due to midday start, please have lunch beforehand. We will take a couple of breaks which will include one near the entrance of Richmond Park where we can use public facilities. 

We will aim to finish the walk around 5pm.

Travel: Both start and end stations are on Oyster. (Putney Bridge and Richmond station)

Option to shorten the walk along Thames Path section as we pass near stations such as Barnes Bridge or Kew Bridge.  This will mean missing out the trail around Richmond Park and suited to those looking for a leisurely or gentle walk that does not exceed 9 miles.
