Description
Hounslow to Richmond - a reasonably direct route using mixed use roads, footpaths, parks and riverside.
This route revises Houric One, with improvements: there's a safe road crossing at Hounslow; better use of pedestrianised Hounslow High Street; corrected access point to Redlees Park, and it swerves the short length of footpath at Richmond lock that floods at high tide (in case anyone wonders why there's a wee indirect loop at that point). Feel free to ignore the swerve in dry circumstances, I think it's useful for people to know it's there if they need it!
Refreshments at Redlees Park and the Royal Oak by the Duke of Northumberland's River. Hounslow and Richmond are both good centres for refreshments, Hounslow High Street is especially good for tasty curries.
Accessibility: There are two bridges with steps. The route is almost all lit at night, but not the riverside path at Richmond

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
