NaBloPoMo – Day 7 – Hogsmill River Walk

Hogsmill River (from the bridge on the A3 between New Malden and Tolworth)

The Hogsmill flows from Ewell in Surrey to the River Thames at Kingston. I have in the past walked the length of it, splitting it into two walks, but yesterday I revisited just a small portion of it. This section runs from the A3 in New Malden to Green Lane Park (New Malden). One of my son’s suggested it, so we walked together on a cold but bright day. The sky offered us interesting cloud formations and in the lower parts fog was still lifting.

I do love an interesting sky

There are various bridges and paths, some take you out to nearby residential roads.

If you look there is still some colour to be found
I must learn my trees! They are beautiful in all seasons
The mist still hung a little here
It’s easy to think that everything is brown and dying at this time of year. But look closer and you see the beauty
We encountered Robins, Parakeets and this lone Heron
A day for the hat!
On the left is the river, to the right of the trees is Green Lane Park
Trains from London going west
Green Lane Park
