Beautiful gardens, woods, deer, rivers and history - Wimbledon to Barnes

Join us for a wonderful walk from Wimbledon to Barnes, taking in the wild beauty of Wimbledon Common, the deer-filled expanses of Richmond Park, the vibrant colors of the Isabella Plantation, the grandeur of Pembroke Lodge, and the gentle Thames towpath through Kew.

A perfect blend of nature, history, and riverside charm — ideal for a refreshing, sociable day out, which we'll round off with an optional drink/food in a local pub.
