Staines to Runnymede walk

Staines & Runnymede, Surrey. Thu 26 Dec 2019


 The Hythe from Staines Bridge

 Church Island

 

 

 

 The river was high and flowsing too fast for any boats to be moving. We were worried the towpath might be

 flooded, but it wasn't, though muddy in places, including by the water works

 A small inlet at Egham

 Wraysbury Hall, Ferry Lane,

 The lock house at Bell Weir

 with a quote from Magna Carta. Many believe this was actually signed at Staines

 

 The water intake for Staines reservoirs

 There are some varied riverside houses

 

 including some very ugly examples

 and a charming gate - Nido De Amor - Love Nest

 Rosehearty gets a little more dilapidated every year

 Bell Weir Boats

 

 At some point riverside properties appropriated the side of the towpath where they have moorings

 Wraysbury Skiff and Punting Club - now also home to Dragon boats

 It started to rain and we were early, so we went inside the Runnymede Cafe

And our walk ended here as it was pouring with rain and we got a lift to the Bells of Ouzeley for a very large lunch.
