September outing : Chiswick

We travelled out from Waterloo Main line to Chiswick. On a lovely warm day a short walk brought us to Chiswick House and Gardens.  We walked towards the waterfall, then taking a path by the lake and over the bridge. There are many footpaths, each one having either a folly or statue at the end. We tried one which took us to a statue and the rose garden. Not a single rose  as it had all been tided up! We did find a lovely garden which had plenty of Autumn colour. After a walk around the outside of Chiswick House we had lunch in the outside area of the cafe.  Next we took a short walk to the river Thames via St Nicholas Church.  Here there are graves of many well none including William Hogarth andJames Whistler. It was then a pleasant one mile walk by the Thames to Barns Bridge station and back to Waterloo.

A lovely late Summer Day
