DISTANCE: 4.5 – 5 Miles.

GETTING THERE AND BACK.
START: Chiswick Station on the Hounslow loop.
FINISH: Putney Station.

ROUTE AND REFRESHMENTS.
The route begins by walking through the grounds of Chiswick House where there is an excellent cafe
with toilets. After crossing the busy A316 Burlington Lane the walk continues through Chiswick old
village and along the Mall to reach the stretch of riverside towards Hammersmith Bridge. Here there
are several pubs which offer a great place for lunch (and more toilets). Continuing beneath
Hammersmith Bridge there are some interesting places to see before reaching Craven Cottage the
home of Fulham FC.

The finish is in the grounds of Fulham Palace which have also been restored and where drinks are also
available at the Bishops Palace. To reach Putney Station for the return journey there are 2 options.
The first is simply to cross Putney Bridge ahead of you and carry on up the High Street to the station
but the alternative is to walk on beneath the Bridge to the Bridge carrying the District Line over the
Thames which also has a convenient footbridge.

Leaders: Helen and Heather.
