Richmond town and Park Wee Walk

This casual walk chat wine/coffee group will meet outside Richmond Station by the card shop at 10:50am on Saturday 14th February. Ready for prompt departure at 11am.
We will walk through the High Street, into the shopping lanes including past Danieli chocolatiers should anyone need some chocolate in their life. We will continue along Richmond Green and see the now famous Ted Lasso pub, glide past Richmond Palace and walk along the River Thames towpath. Here we can stop for a drink at either the famous White Cross pub or my own favourite the Tide Tables cafe- we can see what people feel like on the day.

Those who want to depart at this point can head off from here.
Anyone who wants a bit more walking and or wine/ coffee can continue up Richmond Hill to see the views, into Richmond Park, see the London City skyline view, visit the lovely Pembroke Lodge for tea/ wine/ cake or lunch and then see the views from King Henry’s mound. You can also bring your own packed lunch it snack.

If anyone would like to warm up after with a drink at the Roebuck pub - brilliant.
It is a casual fun meetup. This is not a serious hike just a nice walk with company and it should you give you a a taste of everything.

We will stop and start as the group feels like. And coffee, cake or wine are available at various places along the route.
As are toilets.

The first half of the walk will only take anout 45 minutes and is a short and easy easy route back to the station.

Then after the first refreshment stop, those who want to continue on can walk for as long as we want in the park - suggest 60-90 mins ish here. It is then half an hour walk back down the hill returning to Richmond Station.

I love showing people where I live but I’m not a tour guide. This is just about meeting friends and enjoying Richmond.
All ages welcome.
If we are lucky we will see the deer. If we are super lucky we will get seats at the pub.

At this time of year we are not guaranteed the weather but I’m not afraid of a little rain. So layer up. Wear warm clothes and sw sible footwear. And we will just adapt the day as we go.

Ignore the waiting list or maximum group numbers- that is just a setting meetup imposes. But ignore. You are all welcome. Just show up or send me a message.
