Richmond Park, Hampton Court & Bushy Park

A springtime ride over Richmond and Bushy Parks. From Ealing, we ride down to Kew Bridge, then stay north of the river until Chiswick Bridge, where we cross over to Mortlake. We use quiet back roads for a gentle ascent to the Sheen Gate, where we can choose between the short sharp climb to the White Lodge and view of the Pen Ponds, or a longer lower level route around the edge of the Park. Leaving by the Ham Gate, we ride around Ham Common, then cross the river again via the Teddington Lock Footbridge and ride down to Hampton where we join the riverside path around Hampton Court. After a short stretch of main road, we enter Bushy Park and head to the Pheasantry for a welcome refreshment break.
Our return route takes us around Bushy Park, then through quiet back roads in Teddington, before joining the main road past Strawberry Hill House and into Twickenham. We turn onto back roads via St Margaret’s and back to the riverside, returning to Ealing via Isleworth, Syon Park and Brentford.
