A gift from the king
Originally built in 1610, Ham House is the creation of an enterprising courtier, William Murray, and his tenacious daughter Elizabeth.

As a boy, William was educated with the young Charles I. Remaining friends as adults; William was given the lease of Ham House and its estate as a gift from the King in 1626. William, and later his daughter Elizabeth, transformed Ham into the house we see today; a rare 17th-century survival of luxury and grandeur.

Petersham Meadows and the Thames Path

Highlight (Segment) • River

Thames Path highlights
The Petersham Meadows, where you will see cows grazing in summer months, was part of the estate of Ham House until the end of the 19th century. The view from Richmond Hill down to the meadows has been featured in many paintings by artists including JMW Turner. Hammerton's Ferry, the foot and bike ferry service which links Marble Hill House (English Heritage), on the northern bank, and Ham House and Garden, on the southern bank of the River Thames, is one of only four ferry routes in London that have not been replaced by a bridge or tunnel.

Richmond Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This is the oldest bridge over the Thames in London, never having been replaced. It was completed in 1777 at a cost of £26,000 to replace a horse ferry. Over the centuries it has been drawn, painted and photographed many times. The toll booths at each end of the bridge remained until the end of the 1800s. The bridge was widened in 1937 when the original facing stone was retained.

Teddington Lock

Highlight • Historical Site

The river pathway from Kew Bridge to Richmond is unmetalled and can be rough and muddy in wet weather. Also, strictly speaking, cycling is not permitted, although everybody does it. So take it easy, watch your speed, and always give way to pedestrians, no matter how belligerent they are.
