‘On all my travels I never clapt eyes on a more beautiful spot than this.
Here would I live, and here would I die.’
Captain George Vancouver

For centuries the panoramic view over the Thames valley from Richmond Hill has enchanted royalty, writers, artists and visitors alike.

Just a few steps and you’ll enter Richmond Park – thousands of acres of unspoiled park and woodland, once the hunting ground of Kings, and still home to red and fallow deer.

Down the hill and you’re on the Thames and into Richmond town. Take a riverboat to Henry VIII’s Hampton Court; discover the site of Elizabeth I’s riverside Palace and Richmond Green echoing with the ghosts of jousting knights; along the towpath to explore Kew’s Royal Botanical Garden’s; take a rowing boat out or just stroll the lazy riverside cafes and inns.

Whatever the season, whatever the weather, you’ll join those who’ve been charmed by what writer James Thomson called ‘this matchless Vale of Thames’.
