    Two royal parks and Britain's finest surviving Tudor building

    Main Walk: 12½ km (7.8 miles). Two hours 45 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 6½ hours.

    This walk explores the two royal parks next to Hampton Court Palace, with the opportunity to spend time at the end in the palace grounds. After a short stretch past the palace on the Thames Path the walk enters Home Park, the local name for Hampton Court Park. It was originally enclosed as a hunting ground for HenryⅧ and still contains a herd of fallow deer, but its appearance has changed significantly since Tudor times. The Long Water was added by CharlesⅠ and the three lime tree avenues by WilliamⅢ & MaryⅡ, completing its transformation into parkland typical of the 17thC baroque period.

    The walk leaves Home Park at Kingston Gate and crosses the A308 to enter the larger Bushy Park. This too started as a royal hunting ground and has had a similar evolution into more formal parkland. Its many water features were the result of CharlesⅠ ordering the construction of the Longford River through the park to bring fresh water from the River Colne to Hampton Court Palace. In the 20thC two attractive plantations were created along the course of the river and the walk goes through these Woodland Gardens to the recently-restored Water Gardens, another reminder of the park's baroque history. It then loops back through the centre of the park and goes along part of the mile-long Chestnut Avenue (with the iconic Diana Fountain as its centrepiece) to Hampton Court Gate, opposite the palace's Lion Gates.
