Journey Along The River Thames: Discovering Kingston To Hampton Court Palace

Рет қаралды 14,904

Күн бұрын

This weekend we enjoy a scenic walk along the River Thames Towpath, Kingston upon Thames to the majestic Hampton Court Palace.
This historic route, also known as the Barge Walk, and was once the preferred river route of King Henry VIII and other monarchs travelling from London to their magnificent palace. The barge, of course, offered the most comfortable and efficient means of transport in those days.
Join us for a leisurely stroll as we take a brief look at the historic Kingston Town Centre and soak up the riverside scenery, on our way to the palace, and then complete our loop through Bushy Park, King Henry's former hunting grounds in the 16th century.
In the video we mention our tour of Hampton Court Palace you can watch here:- • In The Footsteps Of He...
And also our walk to the source of the River Thames in the Cotswolds here:- • The River Thames: Wher...

So much to see on this walk Amazing The town, the barges, ,the island, mansions! A wooded area, a palace with excellent gardens . Fields of beautiful flowers. and in a two hour walk. Stopping for a beer. If a two hour walk was done along the Swan river in Perth you'd see none of that. A river ,walking path and green grass....a lovely view across the river of Perth city. Thank you, that was stunning.

😊 what a beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon Simon and Will !!! Thanks for taking us along with you both. Loved hearing and seeing the horse carriages, narrow boats and a bit of Hampton Court (that video was fab) all that ironwork at the gates are beautifully designed. Just imagine being the blacksmiths and all the hours that went into creating all that ironwork. Appreciate your videos and sharing the history, buildings as you take us on a stroll. That portion of the Thames reminded me of our Yarra River in Melbourne, Victoria Australia 🦘 on a nice warm day with people enjoying a picnic, bbq, relaxing on a rug, rowing club's boats out and the city sightseeing cruises aswell 😊 Happy Travels and Good Health to you both from Melbourne, Australia 🌏 🐨🦘🦜 🦔🐦🦚🦆🦢🐦🦟🐝🐞🦋🤠👍

The gates next to the pub used to be open before the pandemic and you were able to use part of the garden for free. Sadly now everything is ticketed.

Oh interesting, what a shame that didn’t continue. That makes sense then why we couldn’t cut through and had to go around. I thought in the past we had been able to walk the gardens.

Thanks for this. Lovely, as always. But you know that you were unlikely to see deer, as they are lovers of crepuscular light, and not great lovers of heat.

They will be shading under the trees in the quieter parts of the park but have seen them during the day several times here and in Richmond park. They are fairly used to people if you are quiet.

Didn't you go by Dave Gilmour's ( Pink Floyd ) house which is close to Hampton Court Palace? Dave has an old houseboat moored at the rear on the Thames ( which belonged to a famous band leader ) with a covered upper deck for a full orchestra. It is called The Astoria which Dave turned into a fabulous recording studio, where he has recorded many Pink Floyd, and his solo albums. Great video guys!

@MemorySeekers Ай бұрын

Very interesting, I did not know it was there!

@bobbybigboyyes Ай бұрын

@@MemorySeekers No problem. There are many videos on You Tube about the Astoria recording studio. It will amaze you when you see what Dave has done to that old famous houseboat. I was lucky enough to be in the front row of Pink Floyd's amazing Pulse Tour at Earls Court back in 1994. I've seen Pink Floyd and hundreds of other top bands over 50 years, but that was the best!

This did make me laugh. I can assure he is a happy chap. Just not keen on being on the camera but I keep working on that. He has done some cameo’s on occasions. He always walks in front, his parents moan about that as well. 😊
