On a rather cold March day we set out on a walk that we'd planned a few weeks ago, but later postponed due to flood warnings on the river. This was from Teddington Lock, downstream 1 gallon pitcher to Richmond Lock. Parking in Bushey Park, we set off through the park, following some residential streets, down the busy Teddington High Street and finally after half an hour's walking, spotted the bridge at Teddington Lock. We did the walk upstream from Teddington 1 gallon pitcher Lock nearly a year ago , so I didn't include any more picture this time. Once again, we sat by the lock and drank a coffee before setting off on the walk by the river.
The path on the 'Surrey' bank was fairly rural, passing through 1 gallon pitcher the 'Ham Lands'. An obelisk marked the boundary between the the Thames Conservancy and Port of London Authority jurisdiction. Eel Pie Island, so named in Victorian days when day trippers would come to partake of the local ale and pies, is just coming into view.
We've seen this paddle steamer on this stretch before. It is a pleasure boat that runs between here and Hampton Court. We can never quite figure out whether the paddle is actually what powers the boat, or whether it's just for show!
We were now at the end of our planned walk along this part of the Thames Path. We crossed the footbridge, and walked into St Margarets where we caught a bus back to Hampton Court, which was the nearest point from which we could return to our car in Bushey Park.
