Ravenscourt Park via Barnes

From Ealing, we ride down to Chiswick Bridge and onto the riverside at Mortlake. We turn up through quiet back roads, perhaps making a detour to visit the remarkable tomb of the 19th century explorer Sir Richard Burton in Mortlake churchyard (https://www.stmarymags.org.uk/tomb-of-sir-richard-burton). Reaching Barnes, we might pause again to admire the pretty village green and duck pond, before making our way back across the river on the historic, and currently traffic-free, Hammersmith Bridge. We have our café stop at the Ravenscourt Park Garden Centre Café (https://w6gardencentre.co.uk/cafe/), before returning to Ealing via Acton.

A short local ride on quiet back roads with river views.

We use mainly quieter roads, cycle paths and parks. Hammersmith Bridge is currently traffic-free.

We will stop for refreshments at the Garden Centre Cafe in Ravenscourt Park.

Money/card for cafe. A lock for your bike. A face covering for use in enclosed spaces. Do not attend if you have any covid symptoms, have tested positive, or are currently required to self-isolate.
