We will walk from Wimbledon Town Centre up to Wimbledon Village and then across Wimbledon Common to the Windmill. We will circle around the North side of the Common and down to Beverley Brook where will enter Richmond Park at the Robin Hood Gate. Walking through the Park we will pass through the Isabella Plantation to reach the lunch stop at Pembroke Lodge.
