This heritage trail explores the architectural legacy of Richmond and Twickenham along the River Thames. The collection features Grade I listed Neo-Palladian villas like Marble Hill House and the exceptionally preserved 17th-century Ham House. It highlights significant engineering and civic landmarks, including Richmond Bridge—the oldest surviving bridge across the Thames in London—and York House, an 18th-century mansion that now serves as the local town hall. These sites showcase centuries of aristocratic residence and landscape design.
