Northwood to Syon Park garden centre

A circular route from Northwood station through quiet residential roads and tarmac paths through parks, and a short section along the canal/River Brent, past Osterley House then on to Syon Park. We'll stop for a coffee and cake, and maybe a quick browse through the garden centre before we head back via a slightly different route, along another section of the canal/River Brent. The route conditions are suitable for hybrid and mountain bikes, If you have a road bike, there will be some sections along the canal that are compacted earth with stones. I suggest you carry a spare inner tube and tyre levers, some money for coffee and a lock for your bike.
