Embark on the Thames Path and Richmond Park Loop, a moderate touring bicycle adventure that spans 27.5 miles (44.2 km) with 507 feet (155 metres) of elevation gain. This route offers a delightful blend of tranquil riverside cycling along the Thames, where you can spot historic landmarks like Hampton Court Palace, and the expansive, undulating roads within Richmond Park. You will experience diverse scenery, from picturesque homes by the river to the natural beauty of the park, all achievable in about 2 hours and 52 minutes.
When planning your trip, be aware that while much of the Thames Path National Trail restricts cycling, this specific route utilizes designated sections where touring bicycles are welcome. Inside Richmond Park, it is crucial to stick to marked paths and roads, observe speed limits, and always yield to pedestrians. You can reach the starting point using public transport, and trains often accommodate bikes, though you might need to reserve a space for your bicycle.
This loop stands out for its unique combination of urban riverside charm and the wild, open spaces of a Royal Park. Richmond Park is a significant highlight, offering impressive viewpoints and the chance to observe free-roaming deer, ancient trees, and a variety of wildlife in their natural habitat. It provides a refreshing escape into nature, showcasing London's diverse landscapes and making it a notable cycling experience in the region.
