Anyone know if you can walk along the river by Kew Gardens ?

[Lardlizard]

And have a bit of a nose about ?

You can walk by the river, but from memory, I don't think you can see much into Kew Gardens if that's what you mean?

Yeah just looking for somewhere around that area to go for a nice walk

I’ll try n have a look on google earth or something !

Yes you can walk along really river but there is a big ditch Between path and Kew Gardens. There is a nice vista though along way where you can see the both the Kew pagoda in one direction and Ham house I think, maybe syon ( I muddle them up) the other way

That stretch along the river is lovely. A nice route would be to walk from Kew to Richmond. Or if you want to go a bit further, you could cross over the bridge and carry on walking from Richmond to Twickenham. There are a few lovely pubs on route by the river at Twickenham.

The White Swan and The Barmy Arms in particular.

Ok great thanks so much 💐
Richmond to Kew sounds a great plan
I’m going to see if I can hire a motor boat too in that area for a an hour or two
If you know any companies ?

Maybe I’ll pay for Kew tickets if it looks good ? And if it’s open atm ?
Not sure my dc will enjoy it though !

Yes it’s deffo open

Thanks I’ve just had a deeper look in the website and it’s 40 quid for a family ticket so not too bad

I absolutely love Kew Gardens and the children do too. It’ll be glorious if it’s sunny!

Is there a kids playground ?

What’s just google white swan looks lovely, thanks for the tip

There is a treetop walk and an indoors area for children at Kew. My kids loved it there when they were little. Lots of little surprises like the Japanese garden and the Pagoda, and the greenhouses are amazing.

Walk round to Petersham Nurseries along the river to have lovely food, coffee, plants (a few minutes walk from Ham House)

Ok great, thanks much for the advice and tips, looking forward to this now
