Are cycles permitted? I saw a map suggesting only a couple of trails were cyclist friendly and this was not on it? I would love to use it to get to the brook/path to Richmond Park.

View of Richmond Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Totally recommended. You can cycle for miles or walk along this wonderful towpath lined with river boats and grand houses. Many old pubs and restaurants before it turns into a green and leafy riverside path.

Syon House

Highlight • Castle

A nice park, the current home of The Duke of Northumberland apparently, A bit far from Newcastle mind. Great cycling surface through the park. There is a cafe for those minded to take a break.
