Walk
Summary
This is
a relatively long walk, especially if you want to spend significant
time at Hampton Court.
There are plenty of opportunities, to
customise the walk into shorter lengths. We've outlined a few below.
Most of the flexibility is brought about by the boat services and
R68 bus service which broadly shadow our route all the way. |
