Marble Hill Park, Twickenham, London Pink Ribbonwalk – Saturday 16 June
Appreciated as a retreat from the life in the city, the Borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames is one of the most scenic parts of London. The borough is now the home to our newest and exciting Pink Ribbonwalk. The base for our walk will be the impressive home of Marble Hill House and its surrounding parkland on the banks of the River Thames.
20 mile route
Average walking time: 6 to 9 ½ hours walking including rest stops
The day begins in the grounds of Marble Hill Park with our event site situated between the house and the River Thames. Taking in the Thames Path, Bushy Park and the Ham Nature Reserve to name but a few, the 20 mile walk will take you past some of the area’s most beautiful historic treasures including Ham House, Hampton Court Palace and of course Marble Hill House.
10 mile route

The 10 mile route has the same beginning and end as the 20 mile route.
