Richmond Park & Dark Hill

A ride around Richmond Park, enjoying the autumn colours and tackling a couple of hills!

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 across to the Kingston Gate. From here, we will tackle the challenging ascent of Dark Hill, then descending Broomfield Hill and continuing to the Roehampton Café for refreshments.

We will complete our circuit by riding up the lower section of Sawyer’s Hill to Sheen Cross, then exiting the Park at the Sheen Gate and returning to Ealing via Grove Park and Cycleway 9.

Ride from Ealing around Richmond Park, including the ascent of Dark Hill.

Quieter roads where possible; some traffic free sections in the Park

Refreshment stop at the Roehampton Cafe.

Money/card for cafe, lock for your bike.

First-timers welcome!
