Richmond Park & Broomfield Hill

A figure-of-eight ride around Richmond Park, enjoying the summer warmth and tackling the hardest hill in the Park!

We will take our regular route from Ealing, via Chiswick Bridge and Mortlake, to enter the Park at the Sheen Gate. We will ride up Spanker’s Hill, past the White Lodge, and pause to admire the view of the Park, before riding down to the Robin Hood Gate. From here, we will tackle the challenging ascent of Broomfield Hill, then descend Dark Hill to the Kingston Gate. We will circle around back to the Robin Hood Gate and continue to the Roehampton Gate Café for refreshments.

We will then leave the Park via the Roehampton Gate and return via Barnes to Chiswick Bridge. We will ride along the river through Duke’s Meadow, then up to Cycleway 9 back to Kew Bridge and return to Ealing.

Ride around Richmond Park, tackling the steepest hill in the Park.

Mostly traffic-free roads in the Park. Quieter side roads where possible, some short stretches on busier roads.

Refreshment stop at the cafe by the Roehampton Gate.
