Ham Bottom, Richmond upon Thames

Steep paths in Richmond Park

Uploader's Comments

One clearly catches runoff and is quite deeply eroded whereas the other is just muddy, for now anyway. The steep slope along the western side of Richmond Park is an old river terrace and, relative to the predominant clay in the area, the sand and gravel deposits drain quite well and make a good place for a walk after wet weather.
