Gentle ride to Fulham Palace

From Ealing Broadway we will ride towards Kew to follow the Thames past Strand on the Green, Dukes Meadow and then use the Hammersmith Bridge to cross the river and follow the tow path on the other bank until Putney Bridge where we will again cross the river to access Bishops Park.
After our refreshment stop at the Drawing Room Café of Fulham Palace, we will make our way back to Hammersmith, past the Fulham Football Stadium, to join the C9 cycle route from Hammersmith to Chiswick, then make our way through Gunnersbury Park, to return to our starting point.at Ealing Town Hall past Ealing Common.
If anyone feels the distance might be a bit too challenging, there is the option for you to catch a District line from Hammersmith to Ealing Broadway to shorten the ride.

This is a lovely 28 km predominantly flat ride.

This ride will take us mainly along quiet roads, traffic free trails with unpaved surfaces, cycle routes and shared paths, but there will be short sections on busier roads, namely to cross Putney Bridge.

We will stop at the Drawing Room Café of Fulham Palace for refreshments. https://www.fulhampalace.org/visit/cafe/
