Description
This is a pleasant walk on first the right bank of the River Thames, passing Royal Palaces and Parks as well as much medieval and modern history, then recrossing the river at Hampton Court. The walk is largely flat on mostly metalled surfaces.

There is a short connecting walk from Shepperton Station to Walton Bridge mostly on pavement. There are regular rest stops on the first two-thirds of the walk and good shopping on Shepperton High Street. Although we recommend you bring your own snacks.
