Ealing to Syon Park & Boston Manor

A gentle ride, ideal for new cyclists or anyone wanting to gain confidence and explore the local area.

We will take quiet roads through Hanwell to reach the Grand Union Canal towpath at the Fox and follow it all the way down to Brentford. This is a lovely stretch of the canal where we will see many ducks and swans enjoying the spring! (If the ground is wet and muddy, we will take an alternative route using quiet back roads to Brentford).

Then we cross into Syon Park, where we can admire the impressive architecture of the house and enjoy refreshments in the cafe, and maybe browse in the gift shop.

Our return ride takes us back from Brentford using the new traffic-free segregated cycle path on Boston Manor Road. We can take a detour to have a look at Boston Manor House & Gardens, before reaching the top of Boston Manor in time to witness the official opening of the cycle track (and maybe ask for its extension further up Boston Manor Road!). An easy ride on through the back roads of Northfields, then Lammas and Walpole Parks will bring us back to Ealing.
