Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common

A lovely green ride, almost all off-road.
We ride along the Brent River and the Grand Union Canal to Brentford, then through Syon Park and along the river from Isleworth to Richmond Bridge. Crossing the river, we tackle the climb up Richmond Hill, to be rewarded with a gentle descent on the Tamsin Trail, leaving Richmond Park via the Roehampton Gate and crossing into Wimbledon Common. After a lunchtime stop at the cosy Windmill Café, we ride on through the Common, re-entering Richmond Park at the Robin Hood Gate. We cross the Park to leave by the Sheen Gate and make our way back to Ealing via Mortlake and the riverside path to Kew Bridge.
