Paddle the Thames from Hurst Park and Meadows, just upstream from Hampton Court. This lovely riverside park has almost a mile of riverside frontage with easy access to the river and good facilities. Head upstream (flow permitting) for a short loop around Platts Eyot island or on past the weir and Walton-on-Thames to Desborough Island. Or head downstream for a short loop around Tags Island or on past the weir to Hampton Court and beyond.
