Again we after we left the bridge and the park beyond, the path was lovely and green and shady. We walked along the edge of the Old Deer Park and the Kew Gardens. Again, we couldn't see much of the parks but there was lots to see on the other side of the river, including Syon Park's rather unusual pink boat house. After Richmond lock, we noticed the classic salty smell of tidal water and almost no Thames cruisers at all.
Eventually we did see a bit of Kew we were familiar with, benches we had sat on last year looking out over the river to Syon House.
The next bridge was Kew. We were expecting a townscape but we spent moat of the time on another green path, the old urban part was through Barnes.
Then it was on along a shady path to Chiswick Bridge, past a brewery and to the end of the Boat Race Course.
The path led past the Harrods Depository and continued under Hammersmith Bridge. That was the most disquieting bridge to go under as it is very low and the girders moved!
