QUICK DETAILS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📏 Distance: 12.1 km (point-to-point)
⛰️ Ascent: approx. 309 m cumulative

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE ROUTE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We start beside Wimbledon and head onto the commons, where woodland, heath and ponds make a surprisingly wild escape from the city streets.
Richmond Park then changes the scale of the day: ancient woodland, broad grassland and long views that feel like open countryside — all inside London. Deer and other wildlife live here, so we'll walk responsibly and give them plenty of space.
The final stretch leaves the park and descends towards Richmond's historic riverside, finishing beside the Thames at Richmond Bridge.
Not a hard mountain day — the joy is in the constantly changing landscape. 🦌🍂

WHAT TO BRING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✔️ A warm layer for stops — November feels much cooler when you stand still
