Chestnut Avenue, Bushy Park

Highlight • Trail

As with Richmond, this former 'rat run' is now a joy to ride through on two wheels. A wide, well-surfaced straight road has plenty of room to accommodate everyone in safety.

Walton Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

Bridge is nice, from side of the river, nothing special to be on the bridge as it’s narrow but check out coffee shop next to it and the cycle path

Lovely stretch along the Thames with swimming opportunity, just beware of some vicious potholes in the road, specifically don't try to go around the speed bumps.
